Happy Fathers Day 2019 to each of my friends, contacts and anybody who sees the post.
Each of us has our own birth father and some have had an adoptive father and others a step father.
I have four sons - two natural and two adopted - each is my son in every true sense. My youngest son observed long ago that he a natural brother, a step-brother and an adopted brother :-)
By God's grace, the Heavenly Father adopted me in 1987 just before I turned 31. I recognized my need for salvation and the LORD opened my eyes and heart to the Atonement of the Christ which cleansed me of all transgressions.
