Good morning mighty men of valor.
First, a Happy Father's Day to all the dads, granddads and "to be" dads.
I hope you had a pleasant day.
I think, for most of us, the day comes with some gladness and, perhaps, a little sadness.
For me, my kids and grandkids live close by and we can be together for such occasions. Much gladness as I watch over them.
But for many, our kids live all over the country and the visit is a call or a few minutes on Facetime. Both gladness and sadness as the time is just too short.
Some live farther than that as there is a great distance between hearts and "it's been years" for one reason or another. We experience sadness if we even let our thoughts go there.
I am fortunate to have been close to my dad but he is gone now, passing a little more than a year ago. Some sadness indeed, but gladness too.
Father's Day.... comes with a lot of stuff no matter what.
I think it is a great time to take a little inventory on myself.
Former NYC Mayor Ed Koch used to ask, "How am I doin'?"
Good question to ask ourselves....
I have always found that there was and is room for improvement.
Maybe you feel the same.
One of my life scriptures comes to mind, which I try to employ in my everyday mindset. Phil 3:12-14.... In summary it says, that I do not look at what is behind, but that which is ahead....I strive for the prize of the high call of Christ Jesus.
In short, I can't change the past, but the present and future hasn't been written yet and with God's help a great end of my story, your story, is still possible bringing much gladness to you and yours.
Think About It!
Strength and Honor, but Only for His Glory,
