Sunday was Father's Day. It was the first Father's Day for my husband. It got me thinking about my own dad and what my daughter will remember later about her dad. I decided to post the greatest thing my dad ever taught me outside faith in a living God. I actually have a list in my heart that I carry around with me now that Daddy is in Heaven, but for blog's sake, here is the top.
The most important thing my dad ever taught me was to love out loud---loud enough for those you love to really know you love them. My dad was great at that. If he loved you...hey, if he liked you, you really knew it. There wasn't alot of beating around the bush with Daddy. He told you right then and often and he showed it by being there for you and for giving all he had. I read recently that a good dad loves you and a great dad points you to the One who loves you. That's what my dad did for me. He knew what it meant to love every moment and like there was no tomorrow.
