Several months ago Erinn and I were talking about our Dads and one thing she said struck me as being so very true! "There's just something about Dads and as daughters, being loved and cared for by them. Who else cares for you unconditionally and has no other interest than desiring the VERY best for you?" She's right; no one at all, no one....other than our Heavenly Father.
As Dad willingly washed and cleaned vase after vase after vase...
As Dad willingly drove all over Lexington to find cleaning supplies, clothespins and hangers just for us....going out on a separate trip for each item because we neglected to tell him all we needed at one time...
As Dad willingly drove us girls home, to the church, home, to the church, etc. arriving just at the time we asked...
As Dad willingly helped press bridesmaid dresses and Krissa's gown, even though that's not the typical thing he does...
As Dad willingly shopped all over Lexington for a pink dress shirt to wear just because Krissa asked him to...
Why did he do all that without complaint? Because he loves us; he cares for us--his daughters! As I was standing at the front of the church watching Dad and Krissa walk down the aisle a week ago Friday, I was reminded of that very fact. And as I looked at Dad, tears started forming and I had to look away to keep them from streaming down my face in front of a crowd of people.
The look of love, joy and pure content was on his face! I know without a doubt how much he loves us! And how thankful I am to God in providing a father who seeks the Father's will, has taught us to follow Christ and who loves us unconditionally!!
That's beautiful! It made me cry! And in just a few months, he will be walking you down the aisle. Oh, I hope I am there to see it!
