daddy is the birthday boy.

today is a great day.

today is my daddy's 50-something birthday.

(yeah. uh huh. you really thought i was going to put his actual age on this little space? well, wrong.

hehe! ;)

he is our rock.

our protector and provider for our family.

the one that cuts our grass and lets us drive his big truck.

the daddy that is active in his children's life and doesn't think work is more important than family.

the one that will get up at 4:00 a.m. to get a job done so that he can make it back in time.

a player that you would want on your team.

the biggest fan of alabama football that you have ever seen (rollllll tide!).

an elder in the Lord's church.

an encourager.

a missionary to the island of jamaica.

the greatest bass singer.

a 5k runner and can be a goof-off.

a dedicated county commissioner.

biggest protector of his daughters.

a supportive hubby to mom whom he adores.

that's my daddy.

the Maker's handiwork.

it is true.

"...i praise You because i am fearfully and wonderfully made;..."

psalm 139:14

your body was fashioned by the One who created the millions of galaxies of stars.

your hair number--each strand--is known by the One who knows the exact number of grains of sand on the beach.

every single one of your prayers are heard by the One who helped Moses cross the Red Sea and who closed the mouth of the lions in the lions' den to save Daniel.



who is your favorite artist?

we are made by the greatest artist.



please,
don't let people tell you that you aren't pretty.
don't let people tell you that you aren't popular.
don't let people tell you that you can't make a difference.


know that you are gorgeous in your Heavenly Father's eyes.
(and that's all that really matters)
know that you're known by God.
(you know. the same God that had regular conversations with Abraham.)
know that you can make a difference in the lives of all your friends and family by living out the Christian life.
(no matter how hard or challenging it may become)

you are special.

you are amazing.

there is not another Sally, Bob, Rachel, Fred, Betty, Sarah, or whoever you are, like you.

there is only one you in the world.

you are God's incredible handiwork.
