It’s Father’s Day, and if you’ll indulge me, I’m skipping my church blogs for a week to share a picture of my three beautiful daughters. Since the day I held my first in the palm of my hands, my daughters have taught me unconditional love and the true gift of giving, and given me the feeling of a warm wind always at my back.
As my girls have grown up and I’ve moved away from the caregiver role to that of loving spectator, I have been blessed to see them mature into strong women. They don’t live near me now, and while I miss them I am not sad, because I have always wanted them to have wings and passions and to be citizens of the world.
So on this Father’s Day, I’m wishing you a day of sweet reflection on the wonderful gifts that having a family means, and (as I do on a regular basis), I am thanking my daughters for all the fun, thoughts, love and enjoyment they have given me. And Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there!
