Today was Father's day and I honoured Dad by purchasing him a Beegees's (be-jeez-uz) greatest hits album. It has 42 tracks on two discs and I know it will really infuriate my Mum. Dad's smirk when he opened it was priceless. But that wasn't even the best thing about today.
Today at church I looked after Xchange (the intermediate aged youth) so that the regular leaders could sit in on the Father's Day service. People in Sunday morning ministries need a break from time to time. I thought, that given it was Father's Day, I should present a message to that effect, so I spent a good amount of time yesterday preparing one. I had been a little bit worried about how it would go down, but things ran smoothly as. I talked about how we need to treat our fathers, drew a link between that and our treatment of our Heavenly Father, and then made them write letters addressed to both. It was a realllllllllll answer to prayer and afterwards I was buzzing. I felt very encouraged and received several compliments, but I know that they are not due to me, but to Him. I'm looking forward to having some of these young adults come through into our youth group next year.
