Father’s Day may be a day filled
with love, memories, pictures viewed, gifts presented/made from the heart and a
nice dinner together. For others, the
day may fill with tears, regrets, resentment, anger and mixed emotions leaving
a person feeling empty. Hallmark
holidays go either way with most. Think
about it: Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Sweetest Day, etc. Emotions run rampant, all over the spectrum
during these celebrations. Does the card
company, candy company and flower business really struggle that much to require
creation of such days?
Should we only celebrate our
Earthly father’s one day a year? Should
we only give mom a break and express appreciation one day a year? Should our loved one receive showering of
love only one day a year? In case you
were wondering the correct answer is NO!
Trust me, Mother’s Day is much
appreciated and I love the extra attention from my family; but, they help with
chores daily, hug constantly, love wholeheartedly (even when I am having a
“moment”) and provide gifts here and there that warm the heart. My husband receives the same treatment. The family unit need be connected daily,
building one another up and expressing the love shared. If love does not exist or the only words
shared tear down, then one day a year will not repair such damage.
Just as our Heavenly Father
cannot connect with us through only a visit on Christmas and Easter;
relationships cannot reach full potential with only one celebration a
year. Every day His Word needs read and
placed in the heart of believers in order to be carried out fully. Every day He needs to hear your voice,
embrace and walk alongside you. Imagine
avoiding any conversation with a spouse, child or loved one 6 days a week; but,
giving them 1-2 hours of attention 1 day a week. How would that relationship function? I bet we all have that family member we only
see on Christmas and possibly Easter. . .how close is that relationship?
Let us take every day to
celebrate our loved ones, go to our True Father for guidance and grow closer to
our Creator.
The Craig kids and I have been nourishing our relationship tons lately:
Snow cones and wiffle ball at church:
Late night golf cart ride around the campground:
And some fun around town (A-Z selfie scavenger hunt):
Aurora for A!
We had to choose Ice Cream for the I for sure!
Going around town wore them out - Napping for N!
Quiet for Q - the way to be in a library!
Look here, we found a Wheel for W!
To end the hunt, a Zip-code will do quite nicely for Z!
Many other pictures exist obviously, but too many to post! Have a blessed Wednesday.
Live life. . .One Day at a
Time
