Susan LaffertyCelebrate fathers taking their role seriously. Not perfect, but present.
Growing in understanding their children. Practicing faithfulness and courage.
Celebrate fathers who seek the Lord for wisdom instead of giving up.
Who say or demonstrate, “I love you.”
Freely. Without condition.
“Christ the Lord is risen today! Alleluia!”
Our hope sings through warring-world brokenness. Where pain and fears are on the rise.
Destruction and devastating loss keep trying to write the story.
Evil roars. Seeking to hold captive peoples and nations.
Death is the deep shadow.
Chasm of uninvited separation. Abrupt change. And tangible loss.
I miss Mom’s voice. Her hugs. Her laugh. And her interest in every little detail. Her focus on what is true and good. Her enthusiasm for learning and growing. Her love for God, His Word. And her example in faithful prayer.
This week would have been her 93rd birthday on earth.
