Pops - only you would love your grandson enough to subject yourself to playing a "Pirate that doesn't do anything" for his birthday!
Tim - to the best dad in the world! Ty drew your "gift" - a "whippersnapper". I asked him what it was - "something that whips up houses so Dad doesn't have to work anymore and can stay home with me". He loves you soo much!
Grandpa - How we treasure every chance we get to spend time with you and love those phone calls that just say that you are praying for us!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
To my 3 most favorite fathers!
Grandpa,
I Love You! How can 3 very small words hold such meaning – but they do! From warm hugs and family prayers before hitting the road to hearing that deep voice sharing God’s word from the pulpit. From serving your country, to serving your God, to serving your family – you have served each with distinction and honor. You may not stand as strong physically as you once did but you stand strong in our hearts and in precious memories. Thank you Grandpa for loving Jesus, loving Grandma, loving us!
Happy Father’s Day!
Pops,
What a difference a year makes! This time last year I was writing you words of affirmation – and fearing the future. This year I sit amazed at what God has done – not changing our circumstances but working through them and in them! I told you then that I had asked “Why?” many times until God said quite clearly – “Why not?’ All great men in the Bible went through terrible adversity and allowed their circumstances to be used to bring God glory. You have done that this past year. I respect you more than ever. I am proud to be your daughter. I can’t wait to see what God is going to do in the future knowing that His ways are not ours. Your character shines through and we love you all the more for just being who you are!
Tim,
It is hard to believe the journey our life has taken us on so far and the fact that we celebrate Father’s Day not for our dad or grandpa but that 7 years ago God made us parents and made you a Dad! You are an awesome father. You love God, you love me, you love Ty – in incredible, unconditional ways! You are passionate about life and about serving God in practical, meaningful ways! You are strong – in all the ways that matter. You care enough to do the little things – dishes, laundry etc even when you don’t feel like it but you know I am tired. We have walked long paths over the past few years through issues with Ty to my dad’s situation to just life in general. In each of those situations you were beside me – supporting and encouraging and walking with me. We are a team – and I love you for that. Our vows said in part, that we could serve Christ better together than we ever could apart. I see that every day and I am a better woman of God, a better wife, and a better mother – because of you! I Love You!
