Today is Father's Day. We are both so thankful for our fathers and how much they have done for our families throughout the years. They are both incredible examples to us, and we are thankful that they were around to help us grow up and that they are still here to give us advice and show their love for us.
We were reminded in church today about how much influence a father can have on his sons or daughters. I began to think about the orphans in Africa, and how they do not have earthly fathers to influence them or to love them. It hurt my heart to know that these precious children will never have an earthly father to give them a hug, to teach them different skills, or to give an encouraging word.
I am so thankful for our Heavenly Father. "He is a father to the fatherless and an advocate for widows." (Psalm 68:5) To know that God is watching over us at all times is extremely comforting, and I hope to be able to remind these dear children of this so that they can rejoice in everything.
Both Brian and I have a lot to do before we go, but we're so excited and are eager to go. Just one more week to go!
In Jesus' Love,
Andrea and Brian Tsang
