God is his Dad!?!

That was the exclamation I heard several weeks ago during a Coaches meeting at BRCC.  I was sitting in the Preschool room listening to another coach praying and reflecting on his words.  Typically, children are not around at coach's meetings, but this was a meeting before First Wednesday, so a small child with a great mind was present :)  As the other coach was praying, he kept referring to God as Father.  About 45 seconds into his prayer, said small child proclaimed to her mother, "God is his Dad!?!"  I chuckled briefly and yet realized deep down in my heart and my mind just how much insight God had provided this child.

I thought this post was very appropriate for Father's Day.  God keeps bringing this theme to me --- He has provided SO much for me here on Earth in the forms of amazing people, wonderful life experiences, and even more.  And all He wants from me is my love.  He wants me to look to Him as the Great I Am :)  He wants my moments and my days.  My complete trust (one of the hardest things for me).  He has plans to prosper me and NOT to harm me!  He is GOD!

I reflect today also on the amazing parents that God has placed in my life.  They are easily two of the greatest people I know.  They are determined and loving individuals that taught me how to laugh at the mishaps that creep up in life.  My parents taught me amazing responsibility and their strong morals couldn't help but inspire me as I grew up.  As I left home to explore undergraduate and new lands, I realized just how blessed I was to have parents that were still married and living under the same roof.  Now, I am proud to say that they just celebrated 30 years of marriage!!! :)  What an example God has given me to show me how worldly love can work through good times and bad.  Have I mentioned lately that I am blessed? ;)

Enjoy the moments!
