Faithful Fathers
A Daddy's love is immeasurable. I had a loving dad; I watched my husband be a loving dad and now I watch my "boys" be loving dads. Daddies who show up.
Swim school. Bike rides. Times in the park. Daddy days. Ball games. Lunch at school with cafeteria food. Scavenger hunts. Emergency room visits. Neighborhood adventures. Beach trips. Farm trips. Ski trips. Pumpkin picking. Strawberry picking. Carousel rides. Fishing events. Naps. Storytimes. Campfires.
Dads who show up----early---late---and times in between. In a child's eyes "showing up" counts.
How blessed are all my grands----each has a GREAT DADDY!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!
6/16/13 As Owen asked Molly, "Why are there 3 excitements after Happy Father's Day!!! ?" Well Owen, those excitements (also known as exclamation points) do indicate excitement. Excitement for all of us who have sons and son-in-laws who are dads today, because that means we are grandparents.
So....today is exciting....except, not totally.
Two years ago today, Daddy died. And that takes a good bit of the excitement out of the day.
But God....reminds me of the 89 years I had with a father who loved me, never raised his voice and was known "about town" as a quiet and gentle man, noted for his integrity.

| Both of us with a head full of dark hair. I don't remember the picture--but I so-o-o remember Daddy! |
Much like King David, Daddy "walked with integrity of heart and uprightness..." (1 Kings 9:4)
Praises that the Lord was Daddy's shield in WWII and through many years of good health as he "worked" until he was 88. Proverbs 2:8 says, "He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints."
