Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day!!!
I just have to give a shout out to my dad- who, I think, wins first prize in the "Best Dad in the World" contest. I'll never forget the day I realized how much my daddy loves me...
I was a Junior at Moody Bible Institute...I was walking on LaSalle Blvd, almost reaching Dryer Hall- I had just opened a letter from my dad with some money in it. It was a gift for me- an undeserved gift...one that I shouldn't have received because of my attitude in that particular scenario. Yet, my dad selflessly blessed me...why? Because who wanted to show how much he loved me and forgave me. And, why else? Because the Sovereign Lord wanted to teach me a lesson...
God used my daddy, Ron Poling, to show me how much He, my Lord, loved me- unconditionally. I don't deserve the blessings of God and eternal life, but by His grace we can have them.
When I think of my dad, I see the love of the Father. When I think of God's love for me, I picture Jesus Christ, and I picture my daddy.
Thank You, Lord, for my dad- I'm truly blessed...
I'm not a dad, but I can definitely celebrate Father's Day!
