Grateful for Great Dads

It's Father's Day, a day when I'm every bit as grateful for my husband David as I am the other 364 days of the year...but I'm always happy to have more opportunities to tell him so!
What I love about David is his genuine care and concern for others. It doesn't matter their station, their influence, their age, or even their connection to him, he's willing to stop the world and do WHATEVER needs to be done. Whether that's changing a tire for someone broken down on the side of the road, or tickling a grandchild until neither of them can breathe for laughing, David pitches in.
He's been a terrific father to all four of our children, and now continues that loving, fun spirit with our six (soon to be seven!) grandchildren.
Also, I reflect on my own father's example--one of hard work, patience, and fortitude--and I know without a doubt that his example set my feet on a path to build Close To My Heart in the way that I have, and to build my family the way that I have.
I'm also grateful for the many honest and true men who are stewards of so much--the men who lead in my church group, men I serve with at work (that includes YOU, Brian), and those men willing to sacrifice their time to serve in government or community roles. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by great men, and today, I hope you take the time to thank the great men in your life (and thank them the other 364 days of the year, too!)
