A Father's Love

My dad is the greatest dad on earth.  I just want to share a small part of what he has done for me in my life.  My dad taught me through his example.  I learned from his example: hard work, respect of others and the way to live a righteous life.  He never had to say much but he just lived and I watched.  He always gave and gave and never asked for anything in return.  He always supported me in my righteous desires and helped me make the right choices, even if I didn't always listen.  He corrected me when I needed it but always out of love.  He taught me about Christ and helped me find the way to return to live with God again.  As he serves others he never does a job half way, it is always his best.  There is a song by Brad Paisley called “He Didn’t Have To Be”, there is a line in there that I love it says, “Lookin’ back all I can say about all the things he did for me is I hope I’m at least half the dad that he didn’t have to be”  I love my dad, I hope someday I can repay him for everything he has done for me. 


There is so much more that my dad is and that he has done for me but now I want all to think about our Father in Heaven.  How much has He done for each of us individually?  What does He want for all of us?  I think of all my dad has done for me and how much he loves me, then I think how I can’t even comprehend how much my Father in Heaven has done for me or how much He loves me.  It is incredible.  He watches over us and is there for us every moment.  We can pray and converse with Him always and He wants us to.   I love my Heavenly Father and know that He lives.  He loves us all so much and blesses us. I am so grateful that my Heavenly Father sent me to the father I have here on earth.  Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there and especially to my dad!
