Happy Father’s Day to all fathers out there.

Had a deluge yesterday – well for a few minutes anyway, just enough to mess up the cars so they have to be washed, but not enough to make much of a difference in Carla’s garden.

Didn’t make it down to the BBQ contests, haven’t seen anything on numbers or winners, yet, hope it is just a start.

A few years ago they had a few chili contests, those were fun, was a judge for a few of them.

Getting psyched up for summer, will be having warmer days shortly, just need to remind myself it is nothing compared to what our troops are going through in the Mid-east.  (of course, for the most part, they are about 40 to 55 years younger, but still..)

There is a program on the Science channel that shows Robotics fighting each other.

One of the coolest commercials I have ever seen, showed a couple of the robots fighting, during the show, all of a sudden a T-Rex stomps down on them as an advertisement for the new Juristic Park movie. 

Now, that was unexpected and fun!

Mathew 6:9 KJV  “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.”

OUR FATHER, OUR father, which art in heaven. 

You know, I have been praying to Him for all my life.

He became very real to me in April of 1965 when I accepted His Son as my Savior.

He IS my heavenly father.  I have praised Him, I have thanked Him, I have worshiped Him, I have asked for things from Him, He is my heavenly father.

If I had had a conversation with God on this it would be something like this:

I am your Heavenly Father.

Yes, God, I know and thank you for all the things you have done for me.

I am your Heavenly Father!

I know, you deserve my praise and thanksgiving, my respect and admiration – and you have it.

You still don’t really get it, I am your Heavenly Father!

But I saw a post yesterday that drove home that He is Father.

It was a happy Father’s Day post to Him, to God the Father.

It was a beautiful illustration of God the Father, (Jesus sitting as young children came up to Him with the comment of Happy Father’s Day, God) my Father with whom I have a connection – a very special connection.

SO THAT IS WHAT YOU MEAN!!!

Now, I have a better understanding.

YOU may have made that connection before; I ‘knew’ it, I hold Him close to my heart, but that post drove home that connection to me, He is my Father.

My Father.

Psalm 68:4-5  KJV  “Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him.

⁵ A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.”

A father of the Fatherless – He is our spiritual Father.  MY Spiritual Father.

May we sing praises in Your Name!

Thank you, Father!

A very special thank you; God, on this Father’s Day!
