A Father's Sacrifice

We'll, Happy Father's Day everyone! This weekend, I was privileged to spend the weekend with fathers of many generations who are the most invincible men I know.  They are husbands, boyfriends, brothers, sons, grandpas, and DADDYS, even Heavenly Daddy!  I witnessed emotion, devotion, celebration, and collaboration. But what touched me most was the sacrifice that each of these fathers embraced.  They sacrificed spending the day the way they had planned. They sacrificed enjoying the activities of their children. They sacrificed time from their church family and activities. They sacrificed pride. But, they did not sacrifice out of burden.  They sacrifice out of joy.  The joy of life and health.  The joy of family and friends.  The joy of expectation. They joy of knowing their foundation and future. I have been so blessed to be surrounded by men of God who willingly sacrifice whatever necessary for family, for friends, and even for love.  I can honestly say that I would not be nearly as savvy, as solving, or as sincere if it were not for men who taught me how to be practical yet spontaneous, vulnerable yet confident, and most of all - who taught me how to be loved and how to love. I can not imagine one moment of my life without any of them.  So fathers of all ages - know your sacrifice is not going unnoticed. I thank you for being MEN who lead and love. 

Happy Father's Day EVERYDAY!
