Thanking God this morning for the gift of being a father to my two beautiful girls. As I dream about what their futures will be like, it is hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that my heavenly Father dreams over me. That even though I love my girls with everything I am, He loves me infinitely more. i think about the death Jesus died for me, and wonder what it would be like to offer the life of your child to save someone else. Where does that kind of love come from?
I remember my dad today, and I thank God for the memories I have of him. I am grateful for the grandpa my girls never knew, but I know dad looks down from heaven and smiles at them.
I thank my wife for being my constant support and friend. I would not be near the man I am without you.
I john. 3:1 "Behold, what manner of love, that we should be called the children of God."
This last picture is of my girls waiting by the window for me to drive by on my way to work so they can wave and blow me kisses. This image will often stay in my mind for the whole day:)

Wow, the incredible love of Abba (Daddy) Father. Pastor Lee's message really hit home this morning!
Thank you for being a great role model of the father's love to the body of Christ as a whole and especially to the young people. God bless you and your family as you help people connect to the Father heart of God.
This is such a sweet blog Pastor Jon. When I read it I thought of something along the lines of what Roxy said. Not only has God blessed you with your two beautiful girls to father, but he has used you to touch lives that have never known an earthly father that they were meant to have. God bless you one thousand times over PJ!
