God I come before You this day, thanking You for the life of my father, and his impact on my life. He passed from this life 16 years ago today, but I know he is safe with You, and that one day I will be with him again. I praise You for giving me a father who knew when to be tender and when to be firm, a man whose faith was deep and clearly evident in all that he did, a man who always put others before himself, a true daddy who made me feel like his princess. I have to praise You also for the power of music to help us heal. My dad's love of music truly rubbed off on me, and I am amazed at how You use it as a compass in my life, an encouragement, a release. Thank You for the song I heard today that allowed me to have a very cleansing cry...and the one a little later than brought very warm, comforting memories of my times with my papa. My prayer this day is that all families would treasure one another for the gifts that they are, and absorb as much family time as they possibly can with one another. I pray that if there is any doubt about a loved one's salvation that You would give us a bold spirit to ask, as helping them to find the Lord is our charge if they have not already done so. Help us assure that we all rest in heaven with You when our earthly lives are over. Let us never let take our family for granted. You blessed us with one another; may we honor You in our care for one another. I pray You can see the smile on my heart, God ~ again, praise You for giving me such a beautiful man to call my dad. In Jesus' name, amen.
