Father’s day has come and gone.  We kept busy with church, a church-wide luncheon, and a church meeting, that I didn’t really have a lot of time to just sit and think.  It’s probably a good thing.

Every time I think I’ve made it through the grief, I realize once more that my dad is gone and miss him all over again.  So, I made it through Father’s day…but the past couple of days, I’ve been down…I’ve been having lots of thoughts about my dad.  It saddens me that my twins were the age I was when my grandmother died, but I don’t remember her much at all.  I just want my boys to remember him.

He was such a great man of God.  I miss him so much!

“Save a Place for Me”  Matthew West

Don’t be mad
If I cry
It just hurts so bad, sometimes
‘Cause everyday it’s sinking in
And I have to say goodbye all over again

You know I bet it feels good to have the weight of this world off your shoulders now
I’m dreaming of the day when I’m finally there with you

(Chorus)
Save a place for me
Save a place for me
I’ll be there soon
I’ll be there soon
Save a place for me
Save some grace for me
I’ll be there soon
I’ll be there soon

I have asked the questions why
But I guess the answers for another time
So instead I pray, with every tear
And be thankful for the time I had you here

(Chorus)

I wanna live my life Just like you did
Make the most of my time Just like you did
And I want to make my home up in the sky Just like you did
Oh, but until I get there…
Until I get there…

(Chorus)

First let me start by saying Happy Father’s Day to all my daddy readers.

My husband is the most wonderful father in the world…besides my own dad! (I’m a bit biased, I know).

Today’s service was such a beautiful service!  Worship was wonderful, I was able to worship with my oldest son.  What a great feeling.  He’s learning still, but I see it starting to click (Worship, that is).

Speaking of my son, today was “Move Up Sunday” where all the kids move to the next grade level at church.  Michael goes from the Pre-teen (Grapple), to the Jr. High class (Rush, I think it’s called)…and then starts KAOS (the Jr/Sr High youth group).  I don’t remember him growing up like this, but I guess that’s what happens…I mean, he will be 12 in a couple weeks!

Anyway, back to church.  After worship, we had a special music…it doesn’t happen too often, and when it does, the special music always seems to be so beautifully sang!  A gentleman of our church sang Steven Curtis Chapman’s Cinderella.  I sat there and listened as tears sprang up in my eyes…it was just so beautiful!

Then they played a video…it was great, God’s Love Letter, I wanted to share it with my readers…I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

FYI…all local readers, come visit  The River Church next week for a Night of Worship…I’m sure it will be awesome!
