d.v. = deo volente = "God willing" My father, in his later years, would end his letters with those two letters. In conversations he would say, "God willing." James (4:13-15) reminds us that our plans are always to be according to God's will. As I recall my father's words this weekend, I pray you will have a joy-filled Father's Day and that all your summer activities are done d.v.
