Celebrating our Perfect Father

As we celebrated Poncho's Birthday tonight, I see how much he is loved by our kids. I am thankful that he has been the example he has been throughout their life. I am thankful that Peyton can look at her Daddy and see what kind of man she should marry and how they should treat her. I am thankful that Braden has the example of how to be a good husband and father to his children. 

And though not as much as he would have liked, he hopes to have passed some of these things to Josh along the way. Josh is a wonderful husband and Father and we are thankful that he will be the example he should be for our grand babies.

Unfortunately, not all kids have such a great example or any example at all. No matter how wonderful I think Poncho is, there are times when he like all of us has been led by our sinful nature and has somewhere along the way let us down. This is not a bash Poncho blog....it is a Praise Jesus blog! Praise Jesus that He NEVER lets us down. That those of us who aren't as fortunate to have a great earthly father to look up to, can look even higher to the PERFECT Heavenly Father who has adopted all of us as His very own children! He is the example we all should look at! He sets the standards that we should all strive towards! He shows us what "true love" really is by the example of His love for His church! 

If you have been let down by family or friends and this affects the way you live or your image of self worth, break the cycle by looking to the One who will never break your heart. The only Father, Friend, Savior who is the picture of perfection! The One who knows your worth because He is more than your Father...He is your creator!
