My Dad was always there to pick me up and give me sound advice; occasionally, he ministered tough love; and showed me that special hug. I know it has been a while since we have spoken, and my heart aches with that knowledge.

On this Father’s day, I don’t have my earthly Father to reach out to. But I know I have my heavenly Father that is always standing by to answer my questions, provide comfort and give love that goes beyond understanding.

“God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1
