June 20, 2021 3 Lessons from My Father by Candy Arrington The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. Psalm 16:6 ESV Recently, a cousin and I had a conversation about the blessing of growing up with good fathers. As adults and having interacted with many types of people with very different father experiences, we are reminded afresh what a gift it is to have had godly fathers. Father's Day is bittersweet for me. My father died thirty years ago this year. I loved him, and I miss him, but in many ways, he is still with me. I can hear his soft southern drawl, see his lopsided grin, and envision his strong hands. Daddy is with me most in the lessons he taught me about life and faith. My father was a builder, and I often walked job sites with him. One of the first life lessons I learned is things are not always as they seem. During the "stake off" portion of building, the footprint of a house often appears smaller than its true size. The wooden stakes and ditches dug before constructing the foundation are somewhat deceptive in conveying the actual size of the house. Likewise, our view is sometimes skewed regarding people or opportunities. Only with wisdom, experience, and God-perception can we learn to see beyond appearances. |
