happy birthday, Dad!!

Happy Birthday, DAD!! I 'm so grateful for the way that you pursue God, love Mom, and lead our family. Thank you for always taking care of me. The little things you do for us kids mean so much-changing the oil in my car, planning a movie night, answering our questions (be they about school or friends, or whatever), encouraging us and challenging us. Thank you for always being there and for making our home a fun place to be. I'm so grateful for the way that you cherish Mom. It's so sweet to watch you two.

Finally, thank you for your loving our Savior and leading our family in "the instruction and discipline of the Lord." As I'm exposed to more and more of the world, I'm am so grateful for our home. Thank you for building a house centered on the gospel. Thank for teaching us the truth while our hearts were soft! God was so merciful to our family. I love you forever!!

Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways! You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.
Psalms 128:1-2
