MY DAD!

My dad did not have internet capabilities, cell phone opportunities, or a social media presence. Yet, he gave me so much, not in material wealth but in religious opportunities, lessons learned, and great work ethics. As I sit here this morning I reminisce of having a great father. Fishing trips, vacations, backyard basketball games with my dad are all included in this morning's memory bank. Some things I have forgotten but these memories with my dad will live a lifetime!

"He (my dad) taught me to fish, play basket ball, hammer a nail, and much more. In those activities, he (my dad) instilled life lessons and helped me see the things that really mattered. He (my dad) taught me to measure success in fishing, not by the number of fish I caught but by the amount of fun I had. My dad taught me that winning a basketball game wasn't nearly as important as having good sportsmanship. He (my dad) taught me more than just how to hammer a nail, but how to work safely."

Did I mention my dad? I am thankful for my dad who gave me so much!

Happy Father's Day to all of the dads!
