Greetings Dear Reader,
Long ago when such worries should not have been mine I recall
having to scour the house for enough pennies for my bus fare to school. My progenitor did not care about my needs or
providing for them. He had no desire to
be a father to me. I grew up without the
understanding that a good father provides for his children.
It may not be until these last few weeks that I have
realized just how dependent the Father wishes us to be on him for “our daily
bread.” When Jesus uses this phrase in his
model prayer he said it this way, “Give us this day our daily bread,”
This being harvest
time in America, I see the abundance of summer’s labor in the markets and along
the motorways. Over the weekend I saw
large trucks loaded with green beans and yellow corn. This also means that my part of the world has
turned the corner to Autumn and is headed toward winter.
Part of the process of healing from the things that hinder
me is to break the foundation cemented in me as a boy that a father will always
fail. I need to understand what it
really means to depend on the Father for my daily bread. This process is already painful. It is already breaking open places that I have
long walked over thinking they were beneath a slab and long forgotten.
What lies beneath is in the past and cannot be changed but
must be confronted so that I can forgive and love. I must work through what it means to depend on
the Father as a trusting child. I know
that I cannot make this journey alone and so covet your prayers as I do so Dear
Reader. Your company, thoughts, and
questions are also treasured by this scribbler.
Please walk with me as I try to understand what I should have always understood
so that we can both be the better for it.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
