This One's For My Dad

Ten Things I Like About My Dad:

1.  He has a great sense of humor. He’s good at sounding serious when he’s joking around, but he always gets a funny mischievous smile on his face that gives him away.

2.  He does well at rising above the circumstances of life. I know this because he had to grow up without his father, but I didn’t.

3.  He’s a hard worker and doesn’t give up. At one point, he was working a full-time job and a part-time job, plus selling at flea markets on weekends. He currently just works the full-time job and does the flea marketing, but also works a lot of overtime so that he can support his family.

4.  He loves God and loves to spend time with Him and tell others about Him.

5.  He’s a fun guy to be with. I have lots of fun memories with him: looking for shells and feeding the sea gulls at the beach, playing miniature golf, going out for ice cream, taking walks together down our road…

6.  He’s really good at finding free stuff and good deals. Over half the stuff in our house came from yard sales, flea markets, and the curb. And it’s nice stuff, too! This also shows that he’s resourceful.

7.  He cares about people. If there’s something he knows he can do for someone, he does it.

8.  He keeps his priorities straight and puts the most important things first: God, his family, responsibilities, etc…

9.  He’s loyal to my mom.

10.  He’s brave. I know this because he taught me how to drive. And, he’s even braver, because after surviving that, he’s now teaching my brother how to drive!

Yep, I’m one lucky girl. I couldn’t ask for a better dad because I’ve already got the best one! Happy Father’s Day!
