Thanksgiving Friday!

Wow, it's Thanksgiving Friday already! This week kind of sped by.

This week, I'm doing a special Thanksgiving Friday. I'm highlighting one of the major people I'm thankful for: my father.

My dad will be celebrating his 60th birthday this Sunday, and I am so thankful that he is still alive and with me. Right now my father is battling an illness, and we are all praying and believing for the Lord to heal him.

In the midst of this whole thing, my father has been a true example of what it means to have faith in God. He has remained faithful to God's Word, he has maintained his joy in the Lord, and he has not lost his hope. My father is still one of the most joyful people I know, and he continues to preach the gospel like he did before he became ill.

Growing up, my father was always a prime example of a man who showed love, tenderness, strength. He showed me what a man of God is, and he has set the standard (very high) for my future husband. I love my dad so much.

Thank you, Jesus, for blessing me with such an amazing man as my father!
