When your Father dies…

The Irish say: “You lose your umbrella against bad weather.”

The Welsh say: “You sink a foot deeper into the earth.”

The Canadians say: “You run out of excuses.”

The French say: “You become your own father.”

The Indians say: “He comes back as the thunder.”

The Russians say: “He takes your childhood with him.”

The Armenians say: “The sun shifts forever and you walk in his light.”

Have you ever felt that God isn’t close to you? I had a friend whose mom would say, it wasn’t God who moved. So… in the natural order, in life we lose our parents. We lose those who were mentors to us as we grow, those who had the advice, those we gave our trust, those we looked up to because they’d been there and they offered a place to spill it all to them without judgment. Those people leave us. However, we have a Heavenly Father who will never leave us nor forsake us. We have a God that tells us to cast all our care onto Him because He cares for us.
