My daddy was a pretty quiet man but he had a very dry sense of humor. Even though he was soft spoken, there was never any doubt about what he expected of me. There were times in my teen years that I thought he was too strict. However, after I became a parent, I understood.
At 34, he was an older dad when I was born. And, there was no doubt that I was a Daddy’s Girl. Although he worked long hours..., he was never too tired to spend time with me. He was a good man; a Christian man and although he has been gone since 1984, I can still hear his voice in my head on occasion and most often, it is in an affirmative way.
I married a man much like my daddy although my husband’s humor was a bit more than dry. It was always a laugh a minute at in our home when he was around. Our two daughters were very fortunate to have such a wonderful man in their lives growing up. And, I know they honor and respect him today.
Our daughters married wonderful Christian men and we love them as though they are our own sons. They love our daughters and have brought up our grandchildren to love the Lord.
We are fortunate to have two grandsons-in-law who are not fathers yet but someday they will be. They were both brought up in Christian homes and I know they will continue to love our granddaughters and will lead their children in the right paths.
Our two grandsons have been brought up in the fear and admonition of the Lord and I have no fear whatsoever that they also will be wonderful fathers someday.
God has blessed me with wonderful men in my life and I give Him thanks for that.
"Fathers, don’t exasperate your children by coming down hard on them. Take them by the hand and lead them in the way of the Master." Ephesians 6:4 MSG
