You know most people look at their parents, see their mistakes and say “I’m never going to be like them.” I look at my parents, and I hope I’m like them. As I write this I’m sitting on the stage awaiting the drama team to walk in, and I look in the back through the glass and I see my dad, and I know he’s not perfect He could tell you that himself, but I am so proud to call him my dad. There are probably over 100 people waiting to get food, Tuesday nights my dad has his food distribution, and I watch him as he talks to everyone, and gives each person his complete attention. He’s probably being pulled in a thousand different directions, and probably stressed to the max, but the smile has yet to leave his face, and he does each task with such diligence. He never asks for anything in return for all his hard work, he just does it. People look up to him and respect him because he treats people with respect regardless of there current situation or past, and I admire that about him. When ever I talk to people they always tell me "You're so lucky to have such a great dad." I just smile and tell them I know. Because I truly am. I am blessed far more than one could describe. and I hope one day People will look up at me with the same respect and admiration as they do when they look at my dad. =D Love you Dad!

I absolutely love this post, Kelly, cuz that's EXACTLY how I feel about my Daddy. Despite his imperfections (of which I am aware, lol), he truly emulates for me the character of God. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting this into words, Amiga; again, I love it. :)
