It all started this Feb,14 2013. Yes, Valentines Day. Obviously Valentines Day is a day of love. This was the first year I wasn't home for my daddy to give me flowers. Which to have a lovely bouquet of flowers is indeed lovely, but what I love more than flowers is the meaning behind it. It's the fact that I have a father that loves me and is there to buy me flowers until I have another man to. (I'll still accept them even after that..)
My daddy loves me. So many people don't get the privilege of knowing that. It breaks my heart that not every girl gets flowers on Valentines Day. That not every girl has the assurance that their father cherishes them. That so many girls are looking for the love their dad was supposed to provide, in other guys. His Godly example means more than showing me how I should live, but also showing examples of who I want to be the father of my own kids.
I don't know the kind of relationship I would have with God, if it weren't for my dad. He has shown me a wonderful example of the Father's love my whole life. An example I wouldn't trade for anything. I am so thankful God gave me such a Godly, respectable, strong, wise, loving father. Which always- like it should- leads me to thanksgiving. That though my father on earth might be all those things, it's only a glimpse of my father in heaven. He is the one that provided my father with the ability and heart to be those things to me.
I am overwhelmed to say that the love my daddy has for me is nothing compared to the love God has, and that my friends, is the reason God puts daddies in our lives. Whether there is an earthly father in your life that loves you unconditionally or not, I pray that doesn't change your view of The Father's love. Because that love, is perfect love.
Thank you Father, for my father.
