to our dads...

For the diapers changed, bottles washed, and car seat installations.
For the wrestling matches, games of catch, and tickle times.
For the tea parties, styled hair, and painted nails.
For the math facts practiced, books read, and school projects completed.
For the driving lessons, and important "life" conversations.
For not just protecting your flock, but shepherding it.
For not just providing, but partnering.
For showing up, even when it's hard.
For standing up for what's right.
For showing us the love of our Heavenly Father, by the way you love us.

We see you.
We thank you.
We honor you.

Your strength, humility, and example matter - more than you will ever know.

Happy Father's Day!

"The righteous who walks in his integrity—blessed are his children after him!" 
- Prov. 20:7
