Today is my Dad’s 57th birthday. During this past year, my dad has been through a series of painful health issues, and God has been gracious to our family. But especially this year, my father has modeled for me the life of humility, selflessness, and longsuffering. I yet to ever hear an excuse or whine from my father, who has more than sufficient enough reason to do so.
Aside from this, to call him father would be incomplete. He is my best friend, a true listener, and a great encourager. From the days of coaching me in t-ball to affirming me after a sermon, my dad has be constant, faithful, and genuine in all his dealing with me as a son. He’s not a perfect father, but perfect for me. May the Lord continue to give you health and good days ahead or the heritage of the faith and legacy of faithfulness. Happy Birthday Dad!
