This blog post is in honor of my Dad who turned 60 on Friday, September 19th. He asked me on Friday on the way to dinner what a blog was and I thought the best way to show him was to send him the link to my own blog. Hopefully he will be honored by this post. I thought in honor of his birthday I would post the top ten reasons why I have been blessed having him as my father!
1. He introduced me to Jesus and was there when I accepted him into my heart as a child outside the Steinhart Aquarium. I remember that I was eating a push pop and could not wait to tell people that Jesus was in my heart.
2. After Mike was born he took me on what he called "special days" once a week until I started kindergarten. These days included trips to the zoo, Santa Cruz, park, and many more places.
3. When dad drove Mike and I to school he would always stop and let us get donut holes for breakfast
4. My father loves my mother and has for 30+ years. This has given me such a great pictures of marriage!
5. My dad introduced me to hymns as a child and I love them to this day. My favorites are "He Lives" and "Trust and Obey".
6. My dad has moved me to multiple apartments and is always available with his truck when I need him.
7. My dad taught me to always look for the best in people. I am not always good at this, but even when people have hurt me, he encourages me to extend forgiveness and grace.
8. When I go to my parent's house to visit, my dad is always offering me food.
9. My dad calls me to just say hello. I know I give him a hard time about this because he calls when I work, but it means a lot to me that he checks in.
10 My dad is a man of prayer. I know he has prayed for me since I was born and I know he still does. This reality gives me such hope and peace when things are hard.
Happy Birthday Dad! I love you!
