Happy Father's Day!!

Good Morning Ladies!!! I hope you've had a wonderful week. It's Father's Day Weekend!!! What an amazing holiday this is!


Dad, Daddy, Father, Papa….These are all words we’ve used to call our…well Dad. Now what does Dad or any of the other names mean to you? My Dad is a jokester, he’s loveable, gives good hugs, & can be hard-headed at times but I wouldn’t trade him for anything. Some of you may have fathers that have been a positive influence in your life & have a great relationship w/ him. Some of you may have fathers that have caused you pain & hardship or you may not even know your father. Webster’s dictionary says that the 1st definition of Father means male parent and the 4th definition means God. :0) I love that! What Webster doesn’t tell us is that there are many different types of fathers or father-figures. He may be your real father, your uncle, your pastor, or he could be your grandfather. Regardless of your circumstances you know that we are all daughters of our Heavenly Father & He has always, is always, & will always be with us, even when we feel like we’re all alone…Below I’ve included a couple verses from Romans explaining that when we are born again in Christ, He adopts us as His own. I can only imagine the love & security of crawling up in His lap one day with His arms wrapped around me. What a day that will be!! So this Sunday I ask you to honor you Father’s memories or give him a call or hug to let him know you love him. Don’t forget to thank our ultimate Father for all He’s done for us! I love you & remember to Praise God at all times!

Your Sister-in-Christ,

Amanda



Romans 8:14-16 (New Living Translation)

14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children[a] of God.

15 So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children.[b] Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”[c] 16 For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.
