It's a day that we honor fathers. It always falls on a Sunday. And it costs money. We do not "celebrate" Father's Day as you would think. It is a man-made holiday and it puts the light on the human father on Sunday when we should be honoring and worshipping our Heavenly Father on the Sabbath. We choose to glorify and worship our Heavenly Father as well as honor our earthly father(s).
That's not to say that I am not thankful for my husband. Or my own father. Or my father-in-law. All three of these men are very important to me and to the lives of our children. They all have their own special role in our lives. I get to see my father-in-law every Sunday as he attends church with us. My mother-in-law passed away over 4 years ago so Granddaddy is a widower. I cannot believe what it has been like for my husband as he preaches and looks into the congregation to see his own father.
My father drives an 18-wheeler so he is not home often. And when he is home, it's not long so I do not get to see him much. He also lives an hour and a half away. He does pick up his truck load not far from where we live so we meet for breakfast sometimes. I might try to see him sometime this next week.
Time with our family is the best gift we can give each other!
