Father's Day

Tomorrow is Father's Day and this brings a lot of things to mind. Obviously it brings to mind my own Dad whom I love very much. After hearing about the sudden death of Tim Russert yesterday, it really makes me appreciate the time that I have with my Dad. He is about Mr. Russert's age and it makes me wonder about when that time will come when I will have to say good-bye to him on this earth. Sobering.

It also makes think about my own family. I am now the father of three beautiful little girls, and I am so unworthy to be their Dad. Along with being Misty's husband, being a Dad is the best job ever! I fell like I am in training still after almost 4 1/2 years, but I want to continually get better and push my family towards Christ at all costs.

Then I also remember that I have another Father. This Father loved me enough to set aside a moment and create me. He also sent His Son down here to serve, suffer and die so that I may glorify my Father in heaven for all of eternity. I want to be sure to remember that Father on Father's Day. He doesn't want a tie or a fishing hat, He just wants my undivided attention and my undying love for Him. Striving for that is the absolute least I can do for my Father.
