Today is father's day in Brazil. And for me its kinda funny the way i celebrate that important occasion. I use to say that i hv a Brazilian Father - my real dad. And an American father - the missionary that i know for about 10-11 years now. I do not have so many good memories about my relationship with my father, regarding quality time spent.
As some few of you guys know ... i became christian when i was 15 years old. Since then my life started to change TONS. and i praise my Heavenly Father for his provision and comprehension on the matter - my relationship with my Dad.
Today the first thing I did after wake up was text him wishing a Happy Father's day. I know that my father, he doesn't know how to show / express his emotions or his love BUT God make me sure he still loving me and my brother and my sister... in his own way ... but he does loves us.
There is a passage in the Bible that I learn very early in my childhood, even being a catholic back then. And because of this lesson I would never mess up with my Father (or my mother), as i knew that Gods commended us to obey them and honor them. So in my mind i just set this commandment adding the following part: "... no matter if my father is in a good mood, or bad mood. If he is doing right or wrong things, If i will got spank or not... he is my father and i gotta obey him, honor him and love him no matter what."
well... my father and I we do not get along very well (before i became christian) because of several bad moments we had in the past. But yeah... I still love him, and honoring him and obeying him as i know that everything he does in his own ways is for my own good in the future.
I missed him today. And as if my American father is not here in Sao Paulo neither it was just an unique GODs spend time. A good father's day spent with my heavenly father on earth.
Ephesians 6:1-3
For everyone that i know...
Happy Fathers DAY.
emerson in Brazil.
