Happy birthday, Happy New Year!

Today we have the blessing of celebrating a New Year and our Daddy!

 
 
Dad, you show the example of being a Godly husband and loving Mom
"like Christ loved the church"...thank you.
 You invest so much into our lives and you give us a safe place to share our hearts...thank you.
You take time to be a blessing to others every day...thank you.
You show us the example of being quick to forgive and forget....thank you.
Dad, thank you for not giving up when we were in the valley walking on our own two feet without the Lord and thank you for seeking HIM and turning our lives around so that we can be where we are today! Thank you for having faith and that vision of seeing beyond the 'dark days' and trusting in God to get you through when the days were tough! Honestly, if it were not for God teaching you SO much in the valley...we would not be at the place where we are today in our lives!
Dad, thank you for wanting to leave us children a legacy of faith and a Godly heritage to pass on to our children someday....you mean so much to all of us and you have helped us see what really matters in this life:
Loving God and loving people!

{WE. LOVE. YOU.}
 
Some of Dad's favorites things are....going on dates with Mom, ministering to young guys, southern gospel music, Culvers (only when enjoyed with his 'soul mate', a.k.a. Mom), his favorite Bible verse is Matthew 6:33 "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.", spending time with us children, and all around just spending time with family!
 
 
On the menu tonight is:
Ham
Mashed potatoes
Vegetable bake
Sweet potatoes
Stuffing
Salad
 Sliced peaches
 
and for dessert....*Dad's favorite* Yellow cake with chocolate frosting!
 
 
Blessings from your family~
