Happy Father’s Day!

Today was a very special day for Justin, his first Father’s Day! While he has only been a father for a short time I can already see Ava Kate is very blessed to have him for her father and I am blessed that he is my husband. I can already see that she is really in love with her daddy. She loves to listen to his voice. She saved her first big giggle for him. He is such a good daddy- so patient, giving and loving. I always knew he would be because of his tender and giving heart. He truly has a servant’s heart and loves to take care of people especially his girls! It is fun to see him in this new role as a father. For Father’s Day Ava Kate gave him this poem with her footprints. I thought it was worth sharing with all the fathers.


A Father’s Role

In this frame you will find
Two small footprints that are one of a kind.
They are here to remind you of the role you play
In the foundation that you lay.
God has given you this great Treasure
Teach her right and share her pleasure.
She learns from you in every way
So be careful of the words you say.
Hold her tight and calm her tears,
Give her praise and ease her fears.
In all these things she feels your love
And learns to trust the Lord above.
