This is a picture from Christmas Eve 2010. Dad was sitting in his favorite chair to open gifts. I am so thankful for my Dad! I have mentioned before on this blog that I was adopted, and I feel that God gave me the most loving parents a child could ever have. Dad has always been there through thick and thin, and I have never doubted his love for me. One of my favorite memories is of how as a child I was afraid of the dark, and Dad would come in every night to pray with me and read the Bible to me and assure me that God was with me. One night I woke in the dark after everyone had gone to bed, and was terrified, and whispered, "Jesus, please wake my Dad up and let him come to check on me!" Well, it wasn't but a few minutes, and there he came! "Are you ok?" he whispered, and, of course, since he was there, I was! I am so thankful for him, and for all the love he has showered on me all these years.......I love you, Dad!I must say also, that I am so thankful for my Heavenly Father..... what would I do without Him??? He is my everything!
