Really a word to the children…and adults

I grew up without a dad, but I got a stepdad when I was eight years old. I missed something when I was younger, and my stepdad was a true and good father to me, but I’ve still got a bit of a missing piece.

I got married 27 years ago, and my first wife’s dad had already passed away. Her stepdad was not really a father figure to me, though he did me no wrong.

My wife moved on from me 24 years ago, and I thought I’d never remarry, but 15 years ago I tied the knot again, and we’re still hitched today.

I now have a stepfather in law and a father in law, as both my second wife’s divorced parents remarried. They are different, but both are good role models in various ways.

I have had some surrogate fathers as well, more recently, an older friend from church, who passed a few years back.

If you have a father who loves you, you are blessed. If you have steps you love, that is good also. If you have surrogate fathers or fathers in law, you might be blessed as well.

If you have family that are not the best, you still have God. If you know God, you have a Heavenly father, who never leaves you and never forsakes you.

He even forsook His own Son for a brief and painful moment, to have eternal fellowship with me and you.

All you have to do to enjoy His endless peace, is to surrender your life to him and receive His free gift of salvation.

You’ll be eternally grateful if you do.

This is my prayer for you.

He completes my missing pieces.

He wants to do the same for you…
