Well today is Father's Day.
I am so proud to have 3 children. The oldest gave me a special gift; not only a mug to drink my morning cup-o-joe...but also a list of words that she thinks describe me best. Boy...when your 7 year old puts in writing how they see you through their eyes...it means more than anything in the world.
I was moved when I noticed that the top star on the paper had the word Godly in it. Although I know that is not how I always am...it is good to know that she sees me that way. I want to be Godly. I learned today that my children may not see me as I really am; but they see the best in me, they see my potential, they see me as I should be.
I am so thankful that the qualities on this sheet are the same I would assign to my father. Jack Ellerbrook is a true man of integrity and model of Jesus Christ. He gave his whole life for his family....and for that I will always be thankful.
Today was a good day. I love the mug my princess gave me (#1 Dad). I am glad she thinks so. But as long as I drink out of it....it will be hard not to think I am drinking out of my Pop's mug!
Thanks Dad...for being my friend, my example (and next to Mom:o) my biggest fan on earth! I love you!
