HappyFather'sDay....
65Happy Father’s Day!
Let me start by saying “I’m so blessed!” I have a wonderful wife and some pretty spectacular kids. I own my own business and my friends and family LOVE ME TO DEATH!
I got it pretty good.
Having said that…I must now say this…my damn phone has been ring off the hook! Everybody keeps calling to wish me a HAPPY FATHERS DAY! My day was fine! I was happy when I WAS ASLEEP...but I’m awake NOW!
Hold on…(wife just handed me the phone) ”yeah…thanks…love you too…yep…thank you…o.k. Thaaaank yooouuuu…O.K. bye now!”
Sorry about that…been going on all morning…where was I…Oh yeah, I’ve never been one to celebrate stuff. I don’t particularly like to celebrate Christmas. Not because I don’t believe in Christmas. I just believe that it has now become to commercialized.
Every year people go further into debt, trying to prove their love by spending their hard earned money on stuff that will be broken or thrown away a week or two later.
I don’t particularly like celebrating Thanks Giving either. Not that I’m not thankful for all that GOD has blessed me with, it’s just that I don’t understand why we have to celebrate an event that more than likely didn’t happen and if it did, doesn’t it really just commemorate the day before the beginning of the largest land grab and act of genocide in history?
What about Halloween? Why do I, as a Christian, have to celebrate a pagan ritual--where the devil and evil spirits are the main attraction?
Then there’s the Fourth-of-July! We spend all of our money on fireworks or going to fireworks displays to celebrate freedom when at the inception of this particular holiday—I probably would have been a SLAVE! I could go on and on but I won’t!
Now before you start thinking that I’m some “evil dude” or something. Let me explain. “I “ don’t think, we should celebrate Father’s Day or Christmas or Thanks Giving or Halloween or any HOLIDAY but I didn’t say that I “DON’T” celebrate these holidays. Because I do!
I celebrate all those days because…
I have a wonderful wife and some pretty spectacular kids. I celebrate all the holidays because THEY celebrate the holidays! THEY love to unwrap all the gifts that GOD allows me to buy them on Christmas. THEY love to get together with family and friends on Thanks Giving and eat and drink and laugh and enjoy themselves. THEY really love to celebrate our nations independence each Fourth of July by setting off fireworks and laughing and playing and enjoying a freedom envied throughout the world…and you know what? I love watching them do it!
I wouldn’t miss it for nothing!
The sight of them enjoying these holidays proves how blessed I really am. How truly blessed I am to live in such a wonderful country that allows me to run my own business and take the money earned from that business and buy things for my beautiful family. I understand that while I… hold on…(wife just handed me the phone)…”yeah…thanks…love you too…yep…thank you…o.k. Thank you…O.K. bye now!”… sorry bout that…been going on all morning… anyway, where was I…Oh yeah!
Happy Father’s Day!
