Gifts - Tangible and Intangible

TANGIBLE

INTANGIBLE


The amount of energy

expended on a project of love,

whether growing tomatoes or planting flowers.


TANGIBLE


The flower stems after the flowers were destroyed (eaten?)
by a small animal.

INTANGIBLE

Frustration and desire to end the take-over

taking place in our yard and garden.

TANGIBLE

Weapons to take defensive measures to save our home land.


INTANGIBLE

The thoughtfulness of my daughter in gifting her Dad

with these products for Father's Day!





TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE
The delicious dinner my daughter prepared for her Dad.
And the heart warming words "I've seen Mama do it."


"I thank my God every time I remember you," Philippians 1:3

Celebrating the Father of All Fathers!

Father's Day was always a difficult day for me. I do not have a father that taught me anything except fear and shame.

After my children were born I focused on their father, my husband, and helping them to celebrate a Godly father.

Now that they are adults, and the house is quiet on Father's Day I find myself again wishing I could just skip this day.

It was so good tonight in worship when a visiting high school friend, who is now a pastor, prayed that even those who did not have a loving father on earth, can rest assured they have a loving father in our Lord. I have always taken comfort in that.

And like icing on the cake, my Heavenly Father is no ordinary father. My father is the King. That makes me a princess! Instead of feeling sad, that makes me feel very special!
