Thanks guys. This is a very tough day for some of us and a very Joyful day for others and a combination of emotions all over the map for others.

The Good news is this: Time has a beginning and an ending according to Einstein and so do problems and issues. Why?

Because our Redeemer said, "It is Finished!" In other words He took our situations and issues on His shoulders so we could keep "Pressing on through the Finish Line!"

Remember: "weeping may last for the night but Joy comes in the morning!" Psalm 30:5

Joy, not because God makes all the situations and issues go away (which He can) but because He is in the Storm with us and has it all under control. He said, "be still!" and the storm calmed down!"

Question: Was He talking to the Storm or to His friends?

Now I realize I must:

- Be Still
- Accept the Storm
- Take Responsibility for it
- Execute with my new Captain known as my Redeemer at the Helm!

There is a Time for Everything under the heavens. There is also a time of reflection and taking personal inventory called:

Acceptance of the Situation!

1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace!
Ecc 3:1-8

The Holy Spirit was speaking through Solomon not to condone any of these things but wanted us to realize these things are reality.

Today it is Time for Our Father and Creator because after all He Created Time in the First Place.

Have Joyful Fathers Day My Friends!
Thanks for the notes and Stay Thirsty My Friends! RP
