Since
I wrote one for my mom, I suppose that means I also have to write a blog for my
dad…. Just kidding, it would be an honor to write a blog for you, Dad, because
you have already done so much for me. Happy Father’s day to all the dads out
there today, but especially to my dad. I hope you know how much I truly
appreciate you and how blessed I am to have you for a father. Words can’t do you
justice, but I’ll try J
35 Reasons why I
love my dad <3
1.
"These words, which I am commanding
you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons
and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way
and when you lie down and when you rise up.” – Deuteronomy 6:6-7
I
am so thankful that my Dad has set a godly example and has passed down his
faith in God’s word to me. Ultimately, flesh will fail, but God’s Word will
never fail and as long as I stand on that, I have nothing to fear.
2.
Although we like to make jokes sometimes,
my dad really is very wise and I’m so thankful for all the advice and sense
he’s talked into me over the years.
3.
My Dad is really an amazing father and
husband, although he would probably never truly admit it. But, I am thankful
for my dad’s humble attitude.
4.
He has a great sense of humor and is
always making people laugh.
5.
I’m so thankful that he passed that sense
of humor on to me and that we can joke around about pretty much anything.
6.
He has never stopped believing in me.
7.
He has always supported and encouraged me
through prayer, words, and always being there. In sports, school, my choices,
and everything in between my dad has always supported me. And he’s always been
there to encourage and guide me in my failures and struggles.
8.
I am thankful that he gave me a
competitive spirit.
9.
He volunteers in friendships and out in
the community to serve and help others.
10.
He puts up with my bad moods.
11.
He was the “tickle monster” and the reason
for countless afternoons of my siblings and I running around the house hiding,
laughing but fearful that we would soon be found.
12.
I am also thankful that my dad used to let
me paint his toe nails.
13.
It wasn’t insignificant that my dad let us
keep the cats. ;)
14.
He married my mother and has stood by her
side from the beginning.
15.
He makes the best over-easy eggs.
16.
Spending time with him never gets old.
17.
He is always the driver, even in the
terrible big city traffic that drives us all nuts. But, we have yet to get in
an accident, and my dad always seems to make those long road trips a lot more
fun.
18.
He taught me that life isn’t fair, but
regardless I should make the most of what I do have.
19.
Along with that, he taught me to count my
blessings.
20.
I already said my mom always wins when we
have family game nights, so I’m thankful that my dad is a good loser.
21.
He is patient.
22.
I know that he’s praying for me.
23.
He admits when he is wrong or has made a
mistake.
24.
He is caring, kind, and compassionate.
25.
He’s involved in our church community.
26.
He gave me his height.
27.
He’s a hard worker.
28.
He’s diligent.
29.
He’s a good friend.
30.
He has loved me unconditionally.
31.
He is very forgiving, no matter what.
32.
He’s not afraid to speak his mind.
33.
He is genuine, real, and honest.
34.
He has stayed committed to our family. I
know I take it for granted quite often, but I really am incredibly blessed with
the family that I have.
35.
He makes me proud to be his daughter. It is pretty easy to take my Dad for granted. It's easy to think that just because he's my dad he is supposed to be and do all these things for me. But although he really doesn't have to be or do any of them, he chooses to and for that reason I believe he is one of the best dads in the world. I love you to the moon and back, Daddeo <3
