Everyone has a father - somewhere - living or dead - would not exist - without a father. Most of us have fond memories of our father - some not so blessed - happy memories few and far between. Growing up - always a bonus when dad was around - helping - teaching - guiding us along the path of life. For those with absentee fathers - another story - lots of disappointment - lack of male influence. For those who have accepted Jesus as their Lord - Savior - know that they have a Father in Heaven - who has always been there - will always be there - just for them. God is not - has never been - an absentee Father. He created the world - all that is in it - just for us - worthy of our praise.
In God we have a Father - worthy of our love - praise - adoration. Always there - never disappointing - listening to our every prayer - conversation that we direct to Him. In faith - we offer to Him - the prayer Jesus taught His disciples
Today is an excellent day to offer this prayer to Him - the Author of Life - the One - who has always been there for us - since the beginning of time.
