A Father's Day. A Daughter's Delight

Perhaps for some daughters, celebrating Father's Day has become "old hat" by the time they are my age.  But for me, having a father to celebrate is a relatively new and totally wonderful experience!

For the past eight years, I have had the joy of celebrating all that God designed a daddy to be through the gift of my adoptive father Ray Schenk, now affectionately known as "Papa."   Through my papa's loving and faithful presence in my life, I have come to understand and appreciate how wonderful and empowering a father's love can be and how far a father's influence can reach into the heart of a child - even a child, who by the world's standards, is "all grown up."  

What a blessing it has been to experience and be enveloped by the mighty love of God, my heavenly Father, through the life of my dear papa!  Today, I praise and thank my heavenly Father for so abundantly fulfilling His promise to be a Father to the fatherless!  (Psalm 68:5)
