Dad,
Love, Strength, Example… these are words that come to mind
when I think of you.
As a little girl, you swung me from your arms. We’d play
catch in the field and shoot hoops in the driveway. You took me to baseball
games. You taught me to sing and passed down a love for music. You brought me
to church and taught me to pray and read my Bible. You taught me to live out my
faith and be a witness to the lost.
As you worked hard through jobs to make ends meet and
through college to create a better future for us, you taught me perseverance
and a good work ethic. You provided and took good care of Mom and me. You
stayed strong and true through good and difficult times. You taught me to be
wise and to care for family.
These are all the ways that you have shown me love,
strength, and your example.
Now that I am married and have a home of my own, I think of
my roots and what you and Mom taught me. I will always do my best to live life
in a way that honors your hard work in raising me and in a way that honors you,
and I will always be thankful…
…thankful to my
Heavenly Father that He provided me with an earthly father who has always been
loving, present, hard-working, and a Godly example.
Thank you Dad. I love you always.
Happy Father's Day!!
