Top TWO Fathers Day List


There are MANY things I have learned through becoming a Father, but for me, there are two that really stand out…

First, it is my absolute joy and pleasure to lay down my life and everything I have for my daughter. The moment I saw her, I realized that I would want to give her any and everything she needs or wants… unconditional love, time, food, clothes, shelter, smiles, toys, laughs, tenderness, adventure, hope, discipline, grace, joy, education, cars, money, my possessions, whatever. When it came to life, I was no longer in it for me, but for her.

Second, based upon the truth that we are made in the image of God and given our earthly relationships to better understand God, I realized that He (God) MUST feel ALL these things towards His children… you and I. This revolutionary love was revealed to me even deeper, and I was changed. I could better walk in relationship with my heavenly Father and I could better offer grace to Hs other children… all those around me.

Happy Fathers Day to all you Dads and to our Father up in heaven…
