Happy Father's Day

(Atlanta was losing in this baseball game we were watching while on vacation!!) This weekend celebrates Father's Day. Last night, some friends came over. We were discussing the weekend and realized, three of the four guys are 30 somethings and none of them have fathers to celebrate the weekend with. There was a silence in the room for a split second as we all realized that together. I have thought about that all day today. I have thought about people who have lost fathers, who have fathers with relationships that are rocky, and people who have wonderful relationships with their dads. And I have thought today how Scott loves our kids blindly. He didn't have the privilege of having a father who mentored and trained him how to be a Godly father. And then I think of my heavenly Father. He gives him the ability to train. He has given him the ability to be grace to our kids. And He has given him the ability to love them as He first loved us. So when I think of Scott making pancakes for our littlest guy who wanted them (the funny story is in the blog prior to this one), I thank God for sovereignty in putting my family together. For it was He who handpicked the husband I needed, the children He created and gave us and it is Him who continues to give us amazing blessings and memories. I hope everyone I know enjoys their special day as a grandfather, father or son ... and I hope everyone I know takes a moment to praise God for the everything He is to us! Happy Father's Day!!!
