Happy Father's Day!

I sometimes think that it is so easy to take our parents for granted. However, recently that has changed, especially the way I look at my special pops.

As of last year, one of my dear friends was a freshman entering college. Her father had walked out on her and her mom when she was little, but she still had contact with him. The kicker was that he was a man with a strong faith. He helped with the youth at his church and was very involved in everything else church related. Not only did he leave her family, but he started a completely new one. He remarried and had children that he loved dearly and didn’t walk out on. She was bitter, as any person would be given the situation. Here she was, desperate to know her father and be loved by him and he wanted nothing to do with her. While we were at camp last summer, my friend found out that she got into UNC, but without a whole lot of financial help. Her father had originally told her that he would pay for her tuition to help her out. When she told her dad that she didn’t get a lot of help financially, he refused to pay it. Good guy huh? While listening to her testimony, I swear I wanted to hurt the guy. I still feel a little tenderness in my heart towards her. She is a wonderful girl and she has the love of our Heavenly Father, but to know no love of an earthly father….it crushes me.

One of my roommates during camp also came from a rather distressed family. Her dad was an alcoholic and her mother was emotionally abusive. I remember that this girl told me that over and over again her mother had told her that she didn’t love her and that she could care less what happened to her.

The point of all this?

I am blessed beyond words to have not only a wonderful and supportive family, but a daddy who loves me like no other. Dad has ALWAYS been there for me and has never failed to protect me. He is so compassionate and one of the greatest men I know.
So here’s to you dad! Happy Father’s Day! You have been an amazing blessing to me and I am so very thankful for you and your love!
