Happy Father's Day!

I hope all dads had an excellent Father's Day, and let me say thank you! for being a dad. Despite what society might try to tell you, you are important, needed, and wanted - absolutely necessary to your children!

I couldn't decide whether to honor my wonderful husband or my wonderful dad, because both are special to me on Father's Day :-) But then I thought it would be most fitting to honor my eternal Father. During church, we sang this song, and I knew it was perfect.

How Deep the Father's Love For Us

How Deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure;
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure.

How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away;
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory.

Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders;
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice,
Calling out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished;
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished.

I will not boast in anything,
No gifts, no power, no wisdom;
But I will boast in Jesus Christ,
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer.
But this I know with all my heart;
His wounds have paid my ransom

Praise God that He has allowed us to become His children, adopted through the blood of His son!!
