365 Days of Praise Challenge-Day 235

I was making a belated birthday card for my sted-dad because I didn't manage to remember to get it sent soon enough. Typical! I started thinking about that word step-dad. I am assuming the word step is because they are stepping into a role of father, mother, etc. I was 17 when my mom and step-dad got married so I think that role was more like he stepped into the role of being my mom's companion, support, love of her life. My fondest memory of him is when he use to pull on my toes and get the knuckles to crack. Something simple but very cherished. He was the only one to do it! I am so thankful for him and especially what he has brought to my mom's life. Thank you for stepping into the role of dad and sharing your wisdom and love with us. God can do the same for you as a father. He can step into that role and give you wisdom and love you like nobody else. He is our Almighty Father, our Heavenly Daddy, our Abba. Have you let God step into the role of Dad for you?

Romans 8:15 “So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, Abba, Father.”
