A Double Day of Thankfulness and Praise

I opened my eyes early so I could just stare at him before he woke. I rubbed his precious little face and praised the Lord for the beauty of His creation. 

My heart full, I whisper a prayer of thanks for this precious gift of life. A life full of health, love, and laughter. 

I am blessed. He is blessed we are all blessed. 

We spend the day celebrating and thanking Jesus for 6 years of life. 

As the day nears an end, he looks at me across the table and says, "Mommy can you believe I have been alive for 6 years? That is a really long time.'

Daddy and I laugh.

Not fast forward several several years to the life of a man who has done nothing but give of himself for me and my sisters and mom. 

He has shown us Jesus through every action and shows us what it means to serve. He still gives of himself to be there whenever we need him. 

With my heart filled up, I whisper another prayer of praise and thankfulness for allowing me to have the most amazing earthly daddy a child could have. I am blessed.

Jesus we are blessed, thankful, and can't praise You enough for this precious gift of life You gave us 6 years ago. Nor can we praise You enough for the precious gift of life You gave my daddy ...years ago. I am thankful, not only for two wonderful men in my life, but that You have made this day double precious. Bless these two as they celebrate another year of life. Amen
