Father’s Day

June 27, 2011

I know I am posting this late, but I wanted to take time to write about my favorite dads.  I am so thankful to have them in my life and I know Luke feels the same way!

I have been so blessed to be raised by a godly father.  He is a great example of a father who loves God, family, and others around him.  He is busy with his job on weekdays but takes time to come see us and help us in the evenings.  On Saturdays, he drives for 3 hours (one way) to Oshika Peninsula to help those who lost homes due to the tsunami.   I have been amazed to see how much he does for them.  And on Sundays, he is pretty busy at church.  I am not trying to brag, but I have a great dad.   He takes care of Luke when we minister to young people and we can’t do it without his help!  I thank God for giving me my dad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This year was Michael’s first Father’s Day!  Luke (and I) made a gift for him and he loved it!  We are grateful for everything he does for us and for others.  He has been a great dad ever since Luke was born and Luke LOVES playing with his daddy!  I am always touched by his heart for Japanese people.  He has been going to the tsunami-hit areas almost every week to help people there.  Last Saturday, he went there with other church members and helped cleanup a destroyed home.  As you can imagine, it is a dirty job.  But he hasn’t complained about getting dirty.  When he came home, he was happy to report that the owner of the house was so happy to find some of their important documents that were under all the mud.  With his limited Japanese, he is trying so hard to get to know these people.  Luke and I are so proud of him!  We pray God will continue to give him strength and wisdom as he shares His love with those who are hopeless.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads in the world!
