Good Morning Friends,
I've been thinking a lot these past few days, and I never could quite find the words to express what I have been wanting to say. With Father's Day this past weekend, I suddenly felt something laid on my heart to write about. Most people think about Father's Day and think of it as a completely wonderful day to celebrate all the amazing things their dads are, sharing those happy memories with the world. While that is great, something came to me...something I hope can help someone out there. The thing is, for some of you, that may not be a very real reality. Maybe your dad has passed away, left you, or hurt you... whatever your situation may be, it could be that a day to celebrate someone who has been all but less than perfect in your life is the last thing you would want to do. It's a hard thing to deal with, a day to dread, an easy thing to feel left out or jealous about, and frankly, that's okay. It is okay to feel sad and not be excited for such a day. But dear friends, please know that if that was you, my heart reaches out to you and know you were being prayed for this past holiday and every day.
The world often puts so much pressure on being what they call a "typical," "normal," and "perfect" family. Guys, that just isn't life's reality. Take heart, my friends; even though your earthly dad may not be perfect, and times may be rough, remember that no matter the situation here, you have a heavenly dad who loves you completely, totally, and perfectly! He made you just specifically as he wanted, in His beautiful and perfect image, and adores you so much that He gave up his life for you, YOU. That is the most heroic Father's Day story I can think of. So no matter how great, wonderful, awful, or tough your relationship with your father is, remember that you have a king and father fighting for you, and you are loved today and every day. 💗💗💗


Hugs,
Em
