Well, I've learned in the last few months that 7 is the number for completion according to Scriptures. If you are unsure of that, do a search throughout the Bible and see how the number 7 keeps popping up and what it refers to.
I know today was another wonderful illustration of it. Seven years ago today, I was in a church in south Houston dealing with guilt shame and uncertainty. Today, I stood up proudly in church when the pastor called for all the fathers to stand. I have been blessed this Father's Day with having Ricky and Logan. Having Ricky here for Father's Day just took it way over the top.
Both my boys were with me on this Father's Day. The only thing that would have made it better would have been having Hannah here. I know she would have been there too to share the joy of that moment with me if she'd been able, but I know I'm in her thoughts today too. And to add to everything, I got a call from Ariel this afternoon wishing me a Happy Father's Day.
It didn't really hit me till we got home the significance of it all. I was standing by the washing machine getting ready to go outside when it all came crashing in. Overwhelming is an understatement. I am thankful far beyond any ability to express it. Thank you Father.
Oh, two more things to be thankful for on this WONDERFUL day.
HOMEMADE BISCUITS AND GRAVY :)
