Father hunger



Lily, you may never know that your Papa:

1. Spent an entire week cleaning house to prepare for your guests (while mom was a work).
2. Convinced several floor finishers and stair makers to work their schedule around a "princess party."
3. Scrubbed the 10 year old toaster in hopes of mommy not being embarrassed by it.
4. Constructed coloring castles, moved furniture, pooper scooped, moved pantries, scrubbed under cabinets, washed dog, the list goes on.
5. When 30 princes and princesses left the house in worse shape than it was a week ago, he smiled and said, "that was great!"

All this without one "honey do" list. Wait and work hard to find one like him, Lily. Be patient, don't settle and hunt for traits of your father's love.

Amen!

I'm not a parent yet but that echoes the same hope I will hold for my daughter. Or even my son. Those choices require patience and faith.

Thank you again for warming my heart (especially on an otherwise frustrating day).
