In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
–John 14:2,10 (KJV)
Being a human father is never easy! As a woman I can’t pretend to understand a father’s feelings, trials, circumstances, responsibilities – just to name a few. But I know we have a Father, the one who created us and did not just drop us here to fend for ourselves, but who makes his home within each of us. My prayer is that every father on earth will turn to the Heavenly Father within for strength, wisdom, understanding, peace, and above all, love.
Happy Father’s Day!

Refrain:
There are many, many, many, many
Bodies in this world.
And each one is the image of
The Father’s love unfurled.
We may not realize it
Through the mind’s unending swirl.
But the Father makes His home
In everybody in this world.
1. If it were not so,
How could we live?
Without love to show,
What would we give?
Refrain:
2. If it were not so,
Christ couldn’t be.
Without love to show,
There’d be no you or me.
But
Refrain:
3. If it were not so,
He’d have no house.
Without love to show,
No mansions to give out.
But
Refrain:
So remember you’re a home
For the Father in this world.
