\\ this man \\
My dad turned the whoppin' 50 years-old today. What a great guy. =)
Seriously, this man is amazing. He loves Jesus, loves minions, has silver (NOT gray) hair, is a fantastic writer/theologian, and even graciously lets his daughter beat him (multiple times) in board games. I love my dad. And I have learned a lot from him.
He's taught me that….
- God never, ever changes
- You should make time for those you love
- It is always the right moment to break out in dance
- You should talk to your mom often
- You shouldn't eat Cheetos and write at the same time - it makes your keyboard orange :P
- You should follow what Jesus is showing you to do - even if everyone thinks you're crazy
- It is a good thing to win and lose graciously
- I need to entrust those that I love most to the Lord
- Sometimes its more important to be quiet than to prove that you're right - even if you are.
- I should choose my words carefully
- Don't ever waste your time on gross coffee - get the good stuff!
- When you do the things that your loved-ones like to do, even if you don't like doing them, it makes them feel loved.
- Family is important.
- There is nothing that I can ever do that'll separate me from God's love.
- It is better to put your trust in the Lord than to trust in man (Psalm 118:8)
Papa, I can never thank you enough for your godly example in my life; how you've led and guided me; prayed for me; trusted in me and taught me what it means to follow after Jesus.
I hope, pray and trust that these next fifty years will be even better than the first.
Love you.
Love,
Your lil pooh bear =)
