HAPPY FATHER’S DAY…
to all the amazing dad’s - papa’s -pop’s -daddy’s-da-da’s and daddio’s in my life.
I have such love, respect and hope for the next generation watching my 5 sons and 1 son -in -law as they parent my grandchildren.
This also includes my brother, cousins, and nephews.
Parenting is an endless and impossible job…Yet you get up every morning and without hesitation are ready to pour everything you have into your children. Your strength and courage bring a level of comfort and security to our homes.
Thank you to my own father, that gave his all and nothing less, during an era of worldly unrest and confusion. You attempted to speak truth when it was unpopular to do so.
Showing up is half the job. I am grateful for your willingness.
Lastly..
Thank you for my Heavenly Father, creator of the universe, that showed us the path to righteous parenting and gave us a living- breathing guidebook for everyday family life-the Bible.
Thank you for also including so many incredible examples of the people that sinned-failed and got back up every day with your love and forgiveness. Without the love- grace and mercy from God, none of us could do it on our own. I am so grateful that righteousness is a process and not a ‘one and done’ event.
Thank God for Wonderful Fathers.
We would be lost without you.
