Happy Father's Day, Zach (and to our dads as well!) We love you and are so thankful for the godly man you are! I stole this from Ann Voskamp's blog, well, because she is just far more poetic than I :)
For the man whose arms are strong enough to carry the children, whole worlds, the warm, pulsing life-prayers of a woman.
For the man strong enough to take his life and lay it right down with wide open laps and storybooks and paying the stacks of bills and long bike rides and games of UNO and plunged toilets and even longer hours and hauled bags of garbage and laughing tag at twilight and then, night upon thousandth night, kneeling by bedsides, head bowed, heart taking on frame before God and family,
the way a real man leads.
For the man who dies a bit more
everyday,
falls to the ground,
makes his life this field
to grow all our lives towards
Father God.
WE LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH!
