Happy Father's Day!

With Father's Day soon approaching (in just 2 days), I wanted to wish all the Father's in my life the happiest of Father's Day celebrations! I love y'all and hope "YOUR" day is extra special!

First and foremost, my heart is happy and grateful to fully embrace a belief in a Father in Heaven who loves me! How blessed I have been throughout my life! I have felt of God's concern and love for me. I only pray that I can always live my life in a way that will truly praise and honor Him! I am so blessed!

Secondly, I'm so appreciative of a man that came in to my life so many years ago. Thank you, Doug, for asking me to be your wife and for your role as "Father" to our five children. You have worked so hard and taken such good care of our family! Our children are blessed to have you in their lives and I hope that they will glean and implement all of your most outstanding qualities! You are a good man, with a sincere heart and I want you to know that I love you, Doug! Happy Father's Day!!

I'm very thankful for my own father in my life. As a very young girl, I adored him and felt his protective influence over me. By the time I was 7 years old, however, I was without his presence in my life for 11 years. It was a regrettable loss and I thank God for guiding my father back to us. Since then, he has taught me a great many things, wanted the best for me and has loved me. I love you, Papa, and wish you a wonderful day!
