A Fathers Love

Fathers Day, 2006.

Of course the focus in sacrement meeting was about fathers! I have always had a hard time with this topic because I have never had a father. I have the greatest mother I could ask for, but no father and it always bugged me my whole life! I so despretely wanted one!!!

I couldn't take it. I had to leave the meeting. I went into the kitchen and cried. Next I said a prayer, telling Heavenly Father that this was a hard day for me. I wanted a father that loved me and do things with me. Then the most amazing thing happened. I felt the love of my Father in Heaven!!! The spirit told me I have a Father and He will never leave me! I felt God's love for me! No, I did not have an earthly father, but I have a Heavenly Father!!! I do have a Father that loves me! This is one of the best days of my life! What I always wanted, I always had, I was just looking at it with the wrong eyes. Since this Fathers Day, I have thanked Heavenly Father every Fathers Day (and many other times as well) thanking Him for being my father. He is the only Father I know! And that is ok by me!
