All my life I loved my earthly father ...
to me he was sweet as any Daddy should be.
Even as a grownup I still called him Daddy
.... God on the other hand always seemed
stern and Father only by name. This is the
story of how all that changed.

When my Father died in 1984 my heat broke
and I remember standing over his body and
praying to God.

I asked God to take special care of him ...

"after all ..... " I said to God " he is my Daddy
the only one I will ever have"

Off my Father's grave I pulled off a Daisy ...
it had one stem with 2 equal daisies on it .

When I got home I pressed in my bible and over
the years I would come across it , gaze
upon it and shed some tears over the only Daddy
I would ever have. I would also
remember the prayer I said to God there in the Church.

Then in 1988 God filled me with His Holy Spirit ....
during this time God wanted to
change a lot of things in me.

One day the Spirit spoke
" Kathy go get your Bible".

As I opened the Bible the Daisy fell out ... One of the
2 daisies on the one stem was gone.

" What is it you see Kathy ?" asked God.

I answered " Lord one flower is gone.... and one
flower remains."

"No .... " said the Lord " one father is gone one
father remains."

From that moment on I realized God as my real Daddy
and my heart bore that realization
it to full bloom.

God is my Daddy totally and completely now .... and
He is sweeter than any earthly
father could be.

How I wept that day to take to my heart the Love God
wanted me to have so bad.

How he worked hard and gave me this gift as a pure kindness
.... God is no longer stern anymore....

for what stern God would take the time to explain
a flower to me ?

Thank You Daddy.
