37 years of sacrifice… 37 years of patient teaching…. 37 years of unconditional loving, leading, and selfless living… 37 years of hard work!!! Phew! Yes, that is a lot. ? And today is THE DAY! The most wonderful day of the year [tied with mother’s day of course?]… ??♀️? The Day we get to celebrate those 37 years and the BEST DAD EVER!! ?? Y’all, being the Father of 14 [7 of those being daughters and one of them being me ?? ] is not an easy task nor is it a task that is done in one’s own strength! But by the grace of God, my Dad has braved the storms and stayed the course and for that, I am so tremendously grateful. The verse to best describe my dad and always comes to mind on Father’s Day would be John 15:13, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Happy Father’s Day to my Dad!! Thank you for your daily sacrifice, support, vision, enthusiasm, and love. We are tremendously blessed and grateful to the Lord for YOU! ❤️
“The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.“
Proverbs 20:7
??♀️ And as always, in honor of Father’s Day, just a few[had to limit myself?] of my all-time favorite photos from my Dad’s years of fatherhood! ?❤️
“Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord. The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.”
Psalm 128:1-5
