Rise and shine and give God the Glory

All choked up reading through so many Facebook tributes to fathers! Those who have never known their earthly fathers, those who have lost their, those who admire theirs, as well as wives tributes to the fathers of their children...so touching especially when I think of those who struggle with this day for one reason or another. We saw it in our boys today as they struggle to make sense of the hurt and loss they have known. 

Whatever the reason for the loss, our Heavenly Father loves you, He knows your heartaches and anger and fear, and He loves you, you can trust him. 

I prayed that God comfort, strengthen, and heal them. We've all been dealt cards we might not like, the challenge and responsibility is in accepting our cards,  playing them out, and choosing to rise above! 

Rise and shine and Give God the Glory
