I get to go to my dad's house for supper and a visit!
Doesn't excite you?
I'm not "excited" either but, I always love being with my dad; there is something comforted, soothing and safe about him being around - even amidst chaos, upheval and brokeness like when he reaced over here the morning Rush left and just held me in his arms.
So, tonight I am going to go to my dad's house and I am going to feel safe and secure and loved.
Now, to get ready to go see my dad....
Hello!
ReplyDeleteSorry I have not been around much lately. I am sorry to read of your continued trials.
I enjoyed this post about your father--earthly and Heavenly. On the flip side, I think that is why a lot of people don't "come to the Lord". They don't have a good example of an earthly father and so they can't imagine a father that they can't even see treating them lovingly.
You and I have been fortunate because we have a loving example of an earthly father. I can only dream about how much more my Heavenly Father loves me, etc. I try to visualize Him holding me when I am in the midst of a trial, whether it be something big or something small and it really helps to calm and soothe me.
I hope your visit went well :)
With love and hope,
Cheryl
Sometimes I just like to go home, too. My parents aren't in the same house but the place isn't the point. It's the company. I feel safe.
ReplyDeleteThree years ago my life was in such an upheaval, I kept showing up to their house even though I was a 40 year old woman with domestic duties on the home front. They couldn't fix it but they let me rant, rave, cry, complain, and count my blessings.
Two months ago my 12 year old had a bad day and lamented, "It's too hard! I just want to go home to Heavenly Father!" 1) Scared me snotless and 2) how often I had felt the same.
Beautiful post.
