Tomorrow is Fathers' Day. Due to a crisis in our family, one of the fathers cannot be with his wife and children. This is difficult for them. As "mom" and "grandma" I hurt for them. But there will be other Fathers' Days/holidays and we can just look to the future with hope. I learned this years ago when my only daughter would not be at our mother/daughter banquet--probably by her choice. But I told myself that there would be other banquets and indeed there were many other happier times.
Life is a series of ups and downs. Pain and sorrow. Life and death. We cannot always be at the top of the mountain although we wish we could. God helps us through the ups and downs, the pain and sorrow, life and death, and takes our hand and leads us through the valleys.
I am looking forward to worshiping with my church family tomorrow. God bless all fathers and guide them into being an example for their children.
