God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, he named him ... Daddy

~~Author Unknown.~~ 
 

My daddy was an incredible man, an ever shining example of Christs love. If I have ever meet anyone with a servants heart it was my Daddy. 

He was a living example of the saying, preach the gospel always and when necessary use words.  If you knew my dad, you know that he
usually only spoke when he had something of value to say, unlike me!  He had a heart of gold and I was so blessed to be able to watch 

my Dad love God and lean on HIM!  

I never went too long without a bear hug from my Daddy and a whisper that he loved me.  As a little girl and as a women I have always had 
confidence that I am the sparkle in my Daddy's eye!  My Mom and Dad were always my biggest fans, never giving up on me and could see potential 

in me before I could ever see it in myself.  

I can only imagine the love our Heavenly Father feels for each of us!  I pray that each of you will 
put your trust in Jesus, and know that you are the sparkle in HIS eye!  He thinks you are amazing!  He thinks you are incredible, and he will

never give up on you! 

I want to encourage you to love your friends and family.  Don't leave things unsaid or undone.  Daddy's make sure you grab your kids and whisper to 
them how incredible they are and how you love them like crazy.  Life is precious and we never know when it may be too late.


And I'm going to keep that celebration going because I know how it's going to turn out. Through your faithful prayers and the generous
response of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, everything he wants to do in and through me will be done. I can hardly wait to continue on my

course. I don't expect to be embarrassed in the least. On the contrary, everything happening to me in this jail only serves to make Christ more
accurately known, regardless of whether I live or die. They didn't shut me up; they gave me a pulpit! Alive, I'm Christ's messenger; dead, I'm

his bounty. Life versus even more life! I can't lose.  Philippians  1:19-21  The Message
