It's Dad's Day, but my Dad's not here. After 51+ years, it's a strange feeling, not sadness or emptiness or merely reminiscent of years past; it's just different.
And yet, I am reminded of that fifth of the "10 commandments", "Honor your father and mother...." (Ex 20:12) which was also re-affirmed by our Lord (Matt 15:4). For those of you who still have one or both of your parents in this world, I pray that your honor is not limited to one day, but is a lifetime of blessing your parents, and thanking God for the gift they are.
Happy Father's Day!
