Father’s Day is coming soon. Personally, I have not seen my biological father myself since I was 5 years old. I do not know him well; I only know that this person was my father. Sadly, my father died of his heart disease with an unknown cause when I was only 19 years old. He was 47 years old; he was too young to die. I was so kind of disappointing, because my mother did not allow me to meet my biological father for some reasons. Wow, my mother did not want me to visit him. If my father was alive today, I could be more grateful to spend more time with him.
Unfortunately, I have no pictures of my father and I. I guess that my mother might keep hiding my father’s pictures somewhere at her house and she does not want me to know who he was. I have no knowledge of whereabouts in my father’s family. I have some tweaking memories of my father in my mind and heart. I am glad that some memories of my father would never be faded.
Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me close.
– Psalm 27:10 (NLT)
… More importantly, I have a good Father today – the Mighty Lord. He is here to take care of me anywhere, any day, and – any minutes. I am aware that God will never leave me, because He loves me and He is still with me no matter where I go…
The Lord is my light and my salvation.
– Psalm 27:1 (NLT)
… I am glad that the Lord knows I am His child. The Lord is always on my side no what happens, because He is a very merciful and forgiving Father…
But the Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him.
– Daniel 9:9 (NLT)
… I wish that my father could be here today and I could have my chance to share the good news with him about Jesus Christ so he could be saved and the Lord could take him home with him. I could not tell more. But I am certain that my father knew that I loved him as well as he loved me as his only daughter.
If you have lost your father, please remember that your father can never be replaced by anyone in your heart, because he is always with you – in your heart. And if your father is alive today, what would you do with him on Father’s Day?
Thanks for your honest words–and I love your perspective! 47 was certainly too young to lose your biological father, and I’m sure it’s still an ache for you that you didn’t get to form a relationship with him. How beautiful a thing to have the relationship with our heavenly Father to help ease that pain!
My mom and dad live down the street from us, so we’ll get together on Father’s Day–maybe for some popcorn and a movie, our favorite!
Found your blog through SITS Girls link up 🙂
Carolyn,
Oh, I am glad that you came to find here from the SITS Girls. Thank you for stopping by here. 🙂
I no longer have my dad as cancer stole him away at the age of 54. If he was still here I would meet up with him for a bbq and a beer for Fathers Day! I am sorry you didn’t get to know your dad the way you may have liked, hopefully someday you will find some pictures of you and him.
Ronda,
Oh, I am sorry. I guess that we have the same page. I am sure that the Lord spends His time with our fathers. And we will meet them in heaven someday. Anyway, thank you for stopping by here.
So sorry about your father. You are right that he is in your heart.
Jen,
Thank you for stopping by here. 🙂
I’m sorry you lost your father so young. You must have many questions that may quite possibly never be answered. I am happy to hear though that you do have some memories of your father. I hope that brings some comfort!
Kim,
It’s okay. I have some tweaking memories of my late father. However, I am sure that the Lord is with him. Thank you for stopping by here 🙂
I wish you could have known more about your father. it will always leave a whole. Thank goodness you found a higher father.
Michele,
Amen! Thank you for stopping by here. 🙂
Ronda, I am glad to hear you have a close relationship with the heavenly father and he gives you comfort. I could only imagine how you must have felt growing up not having a relationship with your biological father. I am sorry to hear he passed at such a young age.
My father also died before he reached 50. It’s a great regret that he wasn’t able to meet his grandchildren. Now I’m older than he was when he died. I’m sorry you weren’t able to have a relationship with your father or his family but I’m glad you’ve been able to find comfort in your faith.
Lydia,
I am sorry that your late father hadn’t met with your grandchildren. But, I am sure that your late father has watched you and your family. So I’d appreciate your visiting here. Thank you 🙂
Very thought provoking post. I am glad that you have found comfort. I’m sure your dad knows you think about him.
Allison,
Thank you! 🙂
I am so sorry you did not get to meet your father. I do believe he knows how you feel and loves you.
Debrah,
Thank you for stopping here. I really appreciate it 🙂
This is so sad. I can’t imagine growing up without knowing my dad.
Your biological father is not here, but praise God you have your Heavenly Father. What a nice post.
