Colors: Blues and Purples…the colors of Royalty. Sherwin Williams’s colors of Lupine, Forever Lilac and Breathtaking are beautiful together.

Value of Concentration: I walk with You, ABBA, through my journey of life, day by day. 

Memory Verse: ABBA, I whisper your name.

Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

Father’s Day is upon us..  Today as I prepare my Cup of Fancy, Crazy Cup Decaf/Cinnamon French Toast, I come to an amazing realization.

YOU ARE MY FATHER…the one who always loves me and comforts me.  When I see a loving father hold his little girl, tears flow. I never got to be “Daddy’s Little Girl,” due to my father’s mental illness.

All fatherly love, joy, and comfort, have come from my relationship with YOU, ABBA.

As I was searching between two Bibles to write this article, I heard you whisper,”Look at You!” I began to laugh hysterically.

WHY? The old me..prior to an in-depth, personal  relationship with Christ, never picked up a Bible until I was 30 years old (12 years of nuns, old Catholicism)

Presently on a daily schedule,  I satisfy my hunger and thirst for you, by immersing my mind within Your Holy Word.  I GET IT!

I honor my husband, and my son today. 

I was blessed to marry a man of deep faith.  After I had dated so many frogs and rattlesnakes, during my college days, I realized that my Farmer was someone special.

Within two weeks, I knew that “He was THE ONE.”

His faith, morals, love of family, and hard work ethic…was next to none. Plus, he was a Country Boy.

Here’s a funny note: As I left for Wilmington College my Mother stated, “Who knows, maybe you’ll marry a great Farmboy.” 

He was tough on our boys. He raised them to be men of faith, with an amazing work ethic.

As I view my son, the father of twins, I see a clone of faith, love, and strength…..inherited from his Father.

Our sons never walk out of our home, that we don’t say “Love you, boys.”

Yes, I am blessed. However, “Life begins when you make choices.”  With your love and guidance ABBA, I made good ones.

It would take an encyclopedia for me to fill in all of the struggles, worries, pain, fears, illnesses, deaths of loved ones, sorrows, two careers, and raising 3 Christian boys. Also the struggles of how my farmer built this farm and remodeled the farmhouse (Built 1890), would be another book.

We have been together since our first date, Feb.28, 1971….thats 54 years folks. We are married 52 years…soon to be 53, Aug. 4^th.

Praise You, ABBA, for turning my mess into a MESSAGE.

MY CHILD: There is nothing like the love between a Father and his child. Come sit on my lap and spend time with Me…..That’s where you will find true love and guidance.

I love you.

Your,

ABBA, Father

Romans 8:15 For you did not receive a Spirit that makes you a slave again unto fear, but you received the Spirit of Sonship, and by him, we cry …”ABBA, FATHER!”

Galatians  4:6 Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “ABBA, Father.”

Mark 14:36  “Abba, Father,”he said,”everything is possible for you.” “Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
