Why My Dad Isn't The Best

     My dad isn't the best dad in the world. And yes, this post is about why my dad isn't the best.

     My dad isn't perfect.

     He messes up. 

     He gets upset.

     He's a sinner.

     And there are certainly moments when I feel frustrated when we don't see eye-to-eye.

     And you know what? I bet there's a 'better' (earthly)dad out there.

     But that 'better' dad wouldn't be better for me.

     My Dad. My non-perfect dad is the dad God gave me.

     A dad who loves me.

     A dad who is selfless.

     A dad who can fix just about anything - and takes the time to show his kids to do the same.

     A dad who is striving to be the best dad he can be.

     God blessed me so much by allowing ME to be the daughter of a truly amazing dad.

     A dad who taught me how to hunt, fish, change a tire, wire an outlet, finish a job till it's done, choose the right friends, love others, and most importantly seek Christ in everything.

     God worked it out so perfectly that I'd be placed with a dad to fit my personal needs.

     

     No, my dad isn't the best dad ever and he's far from perfect.

     But the the best dad for me. And I truly couldn't ask for a more amazing dad in my life. 

     I love you, Dad. <3

     

 
 
 
 

From the mouth of babes...

Well ages 7 and 5...I love these guys. And Jacob really knows his bible well, it's awesome. :)  Jacob: "God wants you to give him your whole heart."
Joel: "Wow."
Jacob: "He wants you to be holy like he is holy"
Joel: "Like Noah! You should be like Noah and trust God!"
Jacob: "Yes but Noah died."
Joel: "HE DIED?!?!?!? Well...God can never die."
Jacob: "Even if you try to kill him, he can never die!"
Joe:l "there's bears in heaven."
Jacob: "How do you know."
Joel: "Someone told me."
Jacob: "Well there MIGHT be. We don't know."
Joel: "Well probably there is bears."
::Jacob started singing about bears::
Jacob: "In Heaven we'll spend all day worshiping God!"
Joel: "I don't think there's music in heaven"
Jacob: "There is! You know why? Cause everyday you worship God! There's lot of music!"
Joel: "Ya...even when you do your work!"
Then they got distracted talking about sharks and drawing with your head.... :)
Jacob: "I bet God would be the best drawer ever!"
Joel: "He would be as good as Ariel! He could draw a raccoon!...how old is God?"
Jacob: "Did you know there's millions of people in heaven rights now? Greatgreat grandpa is in heaven." ::thinks a moment:: "But kee-kee....isn't there going to be a new heaven? When Jesus comes back again?"
