Father’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the men who have loved and guided us. As our earthly fathers grow older, our ways of honoring them must naturally change, as their busy years give way to a slower pace of life. Gifts from stores aren’t as meaningful to our aging fathers as the gift of our time with them is. The Bible encourages us in Exodus 20:12 to “Honor your father and your mother…”. By spending time with our aging fathers in ways that honor their important roles in our lives, we can offer meaningful blessings that they’ll appreciate and enjoy.

We all wonder about what heaven is like and what our deceased loved ones are doing there. As God’s Word, the Bible serves as the primary source of guidance and assurance on what happens to our loved ones after they pass away. The Bible doesn’t provide every detail about heaven and the state of our loved ones there. But it does offer valuable insights that provide important glimpses of the divine plan for believers in heaven. It also assures us in 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 that, “‘What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived’ – the things God has prepared for those who love him – these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.”
