I am too tired tonight to write the post that’s churning through my too-full brain so I’m going to re-blog this one from last year instead.
I have found Father’s Day this year to be difficult and sad. I thought it might get easier as the years pass, but so far – this hasn’t been the case. We lost my wonderful Dad to cancer four years ago and the world lost a wonderful husband, brother and friend. Father’s day will continue to go on regardless and if I have anything to do with it: so will my Dad’s memory.
I am encouraging my children to give Paul a wonderful day today and thinking about how much I can’t wait to get to heaven to have a cuppa with my Dad!
Happy Father’s day to all my wonderful readers. Hope it’s been fabulous.

Hi Fiona. I’m sorry about your Dad…. I will pray for you. “Our most Gracious Heavenly Father, I come to You, Father, as the Great and Almighty God You are who reigns over this earth. You are the Author of time and history, and the giver of all our greatest gifts, and He who is our greatest gift, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Father, I thank You for the gifts You have given us through Your Son, Jesus, among them the promise that one day we will once again to get the hold the hands of those You gave us to love and guide us on our journey through this strange land to our eternal home with You. Heavenly Father, I lift Fiona and her family up to You, and I ask that You be with Fiona as she lives throughout this special day of remembrance, and that You will bring to her mind and heart the assurance that just as her father on earth loved and adored her, that You do as well, and that You will always love her. Father, I pray that will help her to reflect upon the ‘fathers” that You have given her, and help her to think of what they have meant to her life, and that you will help her to see this day as a time of celebration, and not of loss. Father, I ask You, in the name of Jesus, to shower fiona and her family with Your love, and that You would give Fiona the strength and courage to meet the challenge of this day, and that You will give her peace in the knowledge that one joy-filled day, she will once again be in the presence of those she loves as she worships our Lord who made it all possible. In Jesus name, I pray, amen.”
That was beautiful. Thank you so much Wayne
