1. You have taught the boys to kneel down on the side of their bed at night when they pray to Jesus. Watching the three of you makes time stand still for me.
2. You have shown the boys how to fish, hike and build a campfire. You have given them your love of God's creation. How many kids go in their back yard and find salamanders, grow pumpkins, build bonfires and watch birds hatch with their Dads?
3. You take the kids out and spend time with them individually. Whether it's Daddies and Donuts or a trip to Home Depot. You take time to look into the whites of their eyes and soak them up.
4. You are strong and defensive. One day when the kids have to defend themselves, their families or their country, they will remember the good example you have set for them. (And our girl will look for a similar sense of security in her husband one day.) Recently, when our front door was left open and we thought there was an intruder inside, you marched right in ready to defend our property. #1 said, "Wow, look at that! I have a brave Daddy!"
5. You read God's Word and pray for us. Thanks for giving us this treasure.
6. You listen well to each of us. We all love to talk, bless your heart. Thank you for not only listening, but caring.
7. You are wise with our money, but you also allow plenty for family fun. I am very thankful that we have had a family vacation each year and that we eat out each week. And the kids have so many memories of us all going to movies, parks, concerts, etc. They're probably a little spoiled in this area. But they certainly will not grow up and have to think really hard to remember time as a family.
8. You encourage me in my challenges of being a stay-at-home mom and you are willing to make any sacrifice to support me.
9. You give lots of hugs. And we need them!
10. You are quick to apologize and ask for forgiveness. Because of your humility, we have two boys that are generally quick to admit their faults as well. Hopefully this will point them to their need for Jesus!
You are amazing. You are a dream come true. Happy Father's Day!
