Happy Father's Day!

Look at my cute husband and kids. Wouldn't you think I have everything? I sure am a lucky woman. I'm so grateful for my darling husband. The two of us have been through a lot. A Lot. And I feel so blessed that I can feel, literally sense, our bond growing, our sealing becoming stronger, our partnership twining into something deeper as the years move on.

He is such a great support to me. He has taught me so many things about who I am, good and bad. He had strengthened and encouraged me to develop the good things, and helped me work to overcome the bad. His laughter, his common sense, his happy smile, his generosity, his ability to work hard and keep cool in stressful times...all these and so many more make it easy to love him.

As for being a daddy...my girls are so lucky. He is such a good "girl dad." I love that he's always been willing to take the promptings from me when the girls need to hear from their daddy that they look nice or some other "girl" need that maybe a man wouldn't see right off. I love how he is the best coach ever. If something needs to be taught, he is by far the best at it, because he has unlimited patience and can explain things in many different ways. And, he doesn't let you give up. With him cheering you on, you don't want to. He blesses our family in so many ways.

I'm grateful for this day in which we can celebrate the wonderful men in our lives. It's hard to be a man. It's hard to be a daddy. I'm so grateful to all those righteous men out there who have chosen to take this path, who take it seriously, and truly raise up their children and families. These are the men who will move mountains. These are the men who will change the world. Thank you for your efforts. I promise they do not go unnoticed.
