what is a father?

they do not all look the same…

so, what is their role?

 

he is a farmer…

planting and cultivating

life in his children.

 

he is a hunter…

chasing after his kid’s hearts

pursuing his wife.

 

he is a soldier…

he’s passionate to protect,

and fights for justice.

 

he is also strong…

able to channel his strength

for the underdog.

 

he works with his hands…

bringing something from nothing

he’s a provider.

 

he’s an explorer

fearlessly leading the way

deep into God’s Word.

 

on this Father’s Day,

i want to honor three dads…

God, my Dad, and Abe.

 

God’s my solid rock…

my Dad keeps on loving me…

Abe never gives up…

 

a dad is faithful…

even though the work is hard

and the years are long.

 

to all of the dads…

we need you, stay in the game,

keep up the good work!

My dear girls, 

you have an amazing daddy. He is responsible and fun. He is strong and snuggly. He is generous and adventurous. I hope someday you marry an incredible, God-fearing man just like I did.

 

with love, Mom
