Maybe you are a father, and don’t feel like a great one or maybe you do.

or maybe you have a father to your children and wish they were different or are so thankful for who they are.

Maybe you have a horrible father and don’t know how to begin to deal with that.

Maybe you have a great father, and fear losing him.

Maybe you lost a loving or judgmental father

Maybe you lost one of these types of father to your children.

Idc who you are, you likely have a lot of feelings associated w/ Father’s Day.

We all have a father,

(but let’s remember, some of us don’t know who our biological father even is.)

My point is that we all feel completely different things on Father’s Day!

Growing up, I had a father that was my hero.

Until I was later in my adult years, when I realized, that according to all things, he maybe wasn’t..

For too long, I shut him out. At a distance of course. It wasn’t until I faced my own depravity, did I realize that he only did the best he could.

Through my own understanding and then difficult actions, moving toward him w/forgiveness preceding and along w/his grace, is how, I believe, that we are now restored to a healthy place.

I am so thankful that he is still here to have this time with him!

I spent this fathers days with my dad. I felt guilty I hadn’t come bearing gifts, but he didn’t care and the connections and laughter we experienced were worth far more than gold to us both!

Whatever you’re facing on Father’s Day,

I’m sorry if it’s hard.

I’m thankful if it’s good.

I understand if it’s a mixture of both.

My heart is with you, grieving, praising or both. ❤️
