A Father's Story

Philip,I want to tell you a story, And like all good stories, It starts like this.

Once upon a time, There was a father, And in case You can't figure that out, That's me!

This father had a wonderful little boy, He was very happy, Then one day, He found out his wife was going to have another baby,

So I prayed, "Lord, if it's your will, Please make her a little girl",

And he did.

I was the first person to hold her in my arms, I looked at her and  I said "Lord , Make her like her mother", And he did.

She was loving and giving , so good and so kind, But then I realized I was getting left out, So I said , " Lord , Make her like me", And he did.

She can drive a truck and a tractor, She can load hay and chew tobacco, Do you realize what you're getting?

But at the same time she was a opinionated, emotional and determined, So I said, " Lord, That's enough of that!  Make her like you!"

And he did.

He gave her the desire to server people , She love people , She gave her life being a nurse, She's brought people back from the dead, And she held the hand of people , who have breathed their last breath , He gave her a heart for missions and she's trekked over the world , Pushed canoes up swollen rivers, Laid on the floor as bullets whizzed outside, So she could tell people about Jesus,

But still something was missing, So I said to lord ,"Make her happy".

And she met you,

You see that look on her face? I never saw that until she met you, And I'm thankful for that ,

Today I'm giving you the best thing I have to give you, And I just want you to know before I do that , How hard me and God has worked to geT her ready !

So Philip , As I give her to you , And I don's think you'll mind if I give you one more word of advice, Me and God have worked hard, Don't screw it up!
