Many blessings to all the dads, grand dads and those wonderful men who are a role model for the fatherless children..
I offer this thread for you to pay tribute to the "dad" in your life..
God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree, The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea, The generoussoul of nature, The comforting arm of night, The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle's flight, The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed, The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities, And then there was nothing more to add, He knew His masterpiece was complete, And so, He called it - Dad.
My Dad had problems with anger..Many times he would quit a job just because of a disagreement..He was very intelligent and a very strict disciplinarian..not only to his children but to our mom..
Yet there was a loving, caring person inside him who would sit up all night tickling, comforting and telling outrageous stories to one of us when we were sick..
As Dad grew older and we began to give him grandbabies, he began to mellow..He learned the basics of love because two of the more loving granddaughters would climb into his lap and demand his love. "Grandpa,I love you, gimme a hug"..from the lips and heart of a child..
He was very independent and hated being ill as he grew ever older and more frail..I loved my dad and made peace with him many years before he passed away..He accepted Christ and faithfully attended the Baptist services in the nursing home for several years before his death..
My last phone conversation I had with him was just hours before his death..The nurse dialed the numbers and he took the phone and said "I love you, always have"..
I know my dad won't read this, but he already knows....
I can never thank him enough for showing me what love means, what a beautiful relationship with your spouse should look like, for giving up so much for his family to have a better life, to be honest, fair, and kind. Happy Father's Day to you dad whom I love and admire.
Now Big T....wow. I fell in love with a beautiful soul and my best friend. I have been fortunate enough to be a part of a marriage full of beauty, love, and laughter. But the icing on the cake, is to watch you as a Dad. You are an incredible father and it makes me fall all the more in love with you. Happy Father's Day Big T.
And to all you other fabulous Father's out there, Happy Father's Day. May you always realize what precious gifts your kids are to you!
I thank God for my father. He was a good father who faithfully served his family and community; but many children have the disadvantage of having a wicked father. I hope they will be inspired by the children of Korah who overcame the stigma of their wicked father ...
My father, God bless his heart, is one hard headed man! (LOL) Still refuses to stop driving. I love when he show's up and I'm worried when he leaves. He still brings us a can of "something" once a week.
"Daddy, you don't have to take the drive and bring me that, I can go to the store and get it, please, I worry about you driving especially at night." The response, "Girl hush your mouth, I'm your father and I'm suppose to do that!" My response, "Okay".
This is me and him, back and forth, back and forth. LOVE HIM SO! I always been a daddy's girl. I don't know what I'll do if I lose my daddy.
To you.............YOUR THE GREATEST! Thank you for being my daddy.
Your daughter............Betsey Lane. I could hear him now: "Betsey who?" LOL!!!!
