Father's Day

. . . I will dance with Cinderella . . . This phrase would bring feelings of sadness and happiness to anyone familiar with Stephen Curtis Chapman and his family. No doubt that on this day he is feeling particularly sad at the death of his daughter and I felt an urge to pray for him and his family today.
Also, I know of people who have lost their fathers and grandfathers and on these days it can only remind them of their loss. Though some will react to it differently, today will be a time of sadness for many.
It reminds me once again that nothing in this world is certain, nothing is consistent, . . . nothing is sound(to quote Jon Foreman). That is why on this day, we thank God for our Fathers that are still living and are grateful for the time we have with them. But also, it should remind us of a much more important truth. The truth of our Heavenly Father. Throughout everything he was, is, and will be with us. Through life, death, hardships, struggles, pains, joys, and even in the life hereafter. None of these we can say for certain that our earthly fathers will, and even if their are, we can't say they will do thing right, or give us the perfect encouragement and peace that only God can give.
Now is a day to look on our true Father and realize that this should be a day about Him, in true celebration.
