Daddy's Little Girl

I love my Daddy. He's such a strong, loving, and Godly man. Growing up as a little girl I loved to capture his attention, as a teenager I loved to test his boundaries and was adamant that he was far too strict, as a married woman I am thankful that I had a dad who showed me what a good, honest man should be like.

My dad is FUNNY. He has a quick wit and sense of humor that will lighten your spirits in an instant. So many times my brothers and sister and I will sit around and laugh telling stories about things Dad has said. He's a hard worker. He has worked in the construction business for 25 + years and can build or remodel anything. One of my favorite things to do when I'm home is ask about his latest build and then meet him at the job site for a tour. His skin is a permanent reddish tint from years of working outside in the sun and he still wears the same wrangler style jeans he's worn my entire life when he heads off to work in the morning.  My Daddy is incredibly loving. He tells me all the time how proud he is of me and that he loves me. He gives big hugs and will go out of his way to ask if we need anything. He is intelligent. He gives great advice and is honest in his opinion. He is Godly. At our wedding instead of a guest book we did a wishing tree - little tags with a note "Advice and Wishes for the Mr. and Mrs." at the top. My Dad's advice was this "Forgive each other as Christ has forgiven us, and love one another as Christ loves you." He instilled in us the desire to pray in all things, for all things.

I LOVE my Daddy! He is the best. I don't think I tell him enough how much he means to me, but I hope he knows what a profound impact he has had on my life.

Happy Father's Day Daddy!
