* A Special Post * - Dedicated to Dads

This is a special post that I'd like to dedicate to all of the Dads.  I realized something very significant today after talking to a good friend as we spoke of our dads today, but I didn't share this thought with my good friend.  Much is to be misconstrued about our relationships to "Father."  And please note that I've deliberately spelled the word with singular meaning, yet with proper caps acknowledgement on the word.  I trust that the essence of my blog today is because of the importance with which I'm giving reference to.  For many you I trust this will be an encouragement, for some it will have no significance until much later in life, for others it will be healing, for yet others you will understand much sooner than those who think about this and pass it on.  

Father's day should be celebrated with more credit than it has been given in years past.  Sure there will be some who will care nothing for it, yet others who understand the significance of it. It's a day that has very little media play, it has no demanding monologue that precedes it, it has no fan fair attached, it has little reward if any at all.  It carries no banner saying "I'm the boss" nor does it fly over the nation in a hero's suit or wear a super cape, yet as the turn of the year comes about each year it is undeniably consistent in maintaining a place for those who understand an almost understandable and seemingly complexed love.  "Father" hears the brash or favored accompaniment of words, expressions, anger, hatred, calm, resolve, tears, laughter and many other things expressed by so many who have so little time on this wonderful planet that we live on.  Yet the word is not singular, the word is plural.  No, I'm not just speaking of your fathers ...just one -Father.  He provides so much more than we give him credit for, yet not human, certainly not robotic and certainly with provisions that are far reaching beyond our narrow human scope of sight or thinking.  The most beautiful thing to hear, -a daughter saying "My Daddy" or Daddy I love you, ... a son saying "My Dad" or Dad I love you.  The worst thing to hear -silence, death, and unforgiveness.  The worst feeling -unforgiveness (hatred is no match).  The greatest healing - understanding that life is preserved through forgiveness along with sanity of mind.  Yes, Father is.  Put yourself to the trouble, ask, how does he think -unselfishly, with divine direction, lovingly as only he knows how. Now, interpret what you'd like - you have permission to do so.
