I must admit, Father’s Day is not my favorite holiday. When
you have experienced abuse, abandonment and more at the hands of a “dad” it is
often a long road home to trust.
Yet every so often as this day approaches it comes
again—that longing, that wanting, that thinking maybe I will search again,
maybe he is alive somewhere. And along with that is “Why?’ Why didn’t he search
for me, why didn’t he try to save me from harm, why didn’t his parents, my
grandparents ever show up? It was quite known that abuse of me was the reason
my first stepfather went to prison. Did I not matter to him? Was I replaced so
easily? Was my birth and the reminder of the little girl who thought he was a
stranger who came every now and then with a doll or colored Easter chicks unacceptable
to his family? Yes, I am from a flawed family and have reproduced dysfunction
at times. But maybe because of the lack in my life I plunged to the Lord at a
young age. He is my Father, my love and my strength. He is worthy and so very
loving and kind. There is none like Him and I am in awe sometimes of His
goodness and what He alone teaches me.
To my True Father, Jesus I give my love, allegiance and
worship on Father’s Day!
I beg each person reading this to watch this movie; maybe it
will help a Father learn, maybe it will spare a child some heartache and
heartbreak. Man-up, Dads in Jesus name.
I believe the lack of true Fatherhood has brought about the
pain of addiction in so many lives.
This movie will rock your world. Family Worship Center in
Port Orange is having a whole weekend centered on it:
