Yesterday was Father’s Day. I planned a dinner for the dads in our life who live close. Our table was full—twelve souls gathered to delight in the gift of good fathers who love well.

The meal was simple, but one of Tom’s favorites—grilled flank steak salad and fresh baked bread. We started with a shrimp appetizer too. But the highlight of the day was the bourbon cherry pie ala mode.

My son-in-love’s brother never liked pie, but one bite of this and all that changed. His response was delightful!

Moments where I witness someone fully enjoy something I’ve made are what fuels my love for cooking and baking. It’s like a special gift, not bought with money but made by hand.

God also delights to give us delicious food. It is found in His Word where we taste and see that He is good; better than the richest of foods.

Father’s Day is the perfect time to get to know Him, our Heavenly Father, on a deeper level.

Having a husband who has excelled in loving, leading and caring for our family all these years is a gift I don’t take lightly. I wanted to give him a card that expressed what things I love about HIM, instead of one that says how he makes ME feel. The latter seems self-focused. I found the perfect one, and as I watched him slowly read it with tears in his eyes, I realized it was worth the price of the card.

I’m basking in the joy of yesterday. Grateful for the gift of the fathers I am blessed to know and love.

We are grateful you have taken the time to read our post today. How was your Father’s Day? Was it one of joy or pain? Basking or regret? Whichever it was for you, God, the Father, is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He couldn’t love you anymore than He already does. This is a love worth basking in for all eternity!

Blessings,

Tom and Debi ❤️❤️
