One of the greatest blessing of my life is my Father

Today is my Dad's birthday!

As I said for my Mother's Birthday,

I was born of a Christian Mother -

I was born also with a Christian Father.

A Father who is gentle

who is quick to listen, slow to speak.

Who I never remember yelling at me or anyone else;

who always loved to tease in loving ways;

who supported his family,

sacrificing so I and my siblings could have a Christian education;

whose faithfulness, commitment to God and

to the church he was raised in

never wavers.

I thank God for my Dad,

for the times I get to talk to him,

for the fact that he never considers me to old to have hugs,

(and who would immediately retort that I don't let him get away without hugs! :) )

*

My Dad's love for me has held me in good stead

and he is always someone I can turn to when I need

advice.

Just calling him up to tell him what I am up to

even if it is only a one or two minute conversation,

is a blessing to me.

So Happy Birthday to my Dad!

God grant you many many years!
