Proverbs 17:6 (New Living Translation)
6 Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged;parents are the pride of their children.
My Dad with my kids
My thoughts where drawn to my dad when i was reading blogposts for fathersday.
I must confess that i TOTALLY forgot that fathersday is tomorrow.
I am still wondering if the date to celebrate this day is the same all over the world.....LOL
My kids did not hear anything about it on school either......
Well i guess i extend to celebrate fathersday in our house to probably next week to be honest....but i know my husband would say "Don't bother..."
So to come back to THE REASON of this post is to put my thoughts on paper about my dad and so honour him because God says in THE BIBLE
Exodus 20:12 (The Message)
12 Honor your father and mother so that you'll live a long time in the land that God, your God, is giving you.
This picture says ALOT about my dad and expresses his heart.This i realized when i start an surge what picture i have from my dad on my computer and saw it
It is an picture made on our last visit to my birthcountry ( longer than 6 years ago ).
My dad has an heart for children........My foundest thoughts of my dad was as an child......
My dad loves to teach about nature......to appreciate it and see the beauty in it......
He always said to me as his only child "You are the apple of my eye"!
I did not understand the depth of what he said until .....i left my parents as an young adult to come and life in Holland.
"His apple of his eye" was now far away and it caused a lot of pain in all those years....
I did not understand but now as a parent i can look at it differently
.
I appreciate and love my dad for who he is "MY DAD"
Given by God to me !
Given by God to me !
When i thought as an child, as an teen as an adult my dad is JEALOUS.....
When i prayed/ pray about it i hear "Why it makes you angry.."??!!.........His acts are his way of showing love.... I LOVE YOU THAT MUST BE MORE THAN ENOUGH and so thus your dad !!. I am also an jealous God......."
Exodus 34:14 (New International Version)
14 Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
I learn an great lesson in my relationship with my dad ( both my parents) What an important role an parent has......
TO PICTURE to our kids THE CARACTER of GOD!! No matter our imperfections as parents....God brings out ALWAYS an message out of an "mess"!!
THAT is what i realized on this fathersday of 2010
God said to me began to write...... Your mind or heart can feel or even see an "MESS" when thinking of your relationship with your dad but there is an MESSAGE in it when you talk it over with ME( your heavenly dad) while you writing........
I love you dad for who you where, are and will be !!
Lord, I Thank you for my dad
Please take care of him
He is getting older,
but he is still brave and bold
Please take care of him
Please take care of him
He is getting older,
but he is still brave and bold
Please take care of him
Thank you, friend Jesus,
for my father who loves me,
and for God, my eternal father,
who made me and is always with me.
for my father who loves me,
and for God, my eternal father,
who made me and is always with me.
And THANK YOU LORD for loving
immensely both my dad and myself !
How Blessed I am!
Amen
How Blessed I am!
Amen
Lyrics:
Oh, how He loves us so.
Oh, how He loves us.
How He loves us so.
He is jealous for me.
He loves like a hurricane.
I am a tree, bending beneathg the weight of His wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions - eclipsed by glory.
And I realize just how beautiful You are and how great Your affections are for me.
And, oh, how He loves us so.
Oh, how He loves us.
How He loves us so.
He loves us so.
He loves us so.
He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves.
We are His portion.
He is our prize.
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes.
If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.
And then heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss.
My heart turns violently inside of my chest.
And I don't have time to mantain these regrets when I think about the way He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves.
And, oh, how He loves us so.
Oh, how He loves us.
How He loves us so.
Oh, how He loves us so.
Oh, how He loves us.
How He loves us so.
He is jealous for me.
He loves like a hurricane.
I am a tree, bending beneathg the weight of His wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions - eclipsed by glory.
And I realize just how beautiful You are and how great Your affections are for me.
And, oh, how He loves us so.
Oh, how He loves us.
How He loves us so.
He loves us so.
He loves us so.
He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves.
We are His portion.
He is our prize.
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes.
If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.
And then heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss.
My heart turns violently inside of my chest.
And I don't have time to mantain these regrets when I think about the way He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves.
And, oh, how He loves us so.
Oh, how He loves us.
How He loves us so.
