Dear Jordan,
Today is your Dad's third Father's Day. It's hard to believe we've had you for that long. I wanted to tell you about how great your Dad is. Soon, you will be able to tell him yourself about all of the things that you love about him. But let me help you out this year.
Your Dad is extremely special. He loves Jesus. He loves to serve and to read God's Word. He loves to spend time in prayer. When he is asked by anybody to do anything, he jumps at the chance to do it. He gives up his Monday nights to lead a Bible Study in a prison. He meets with guys every couple of weeks to pray and stay accountable to each other. He goes to Bible Studies at church so he can learn and he spends time reading the Bible every day. He teaches Sunday School. He meets with Mr. Larry every Thursday so he can learn from an older, wiser man. He takes every opportunity he can to learn and grow.
I would also like you to know how much he loves his family. He takes care of us by working extremely hard. He gets up at 4:30 every morning and works fifty hours a week. He doesn't have to get up so early, but he wants to put his hours in so that he can be home in time spend lots of time with us. He trusts God to provide through his job and works hard to give God the glory at his job. He shares his testimony and looks for ways to share deeply about God's Word. He always stands up for what is true in conversations he has.
At home, he is quick to do the dishes or take out the trash. He fixes things around the house and enjoys teaching you how to use tools.
Your Dad loves you, Buddy. He is always willing for a good wrestling session or to ride your little cars all around the house. He loves to take you to the zoo and play outside with you. You are wild and he loves it. He loves reading to you and watching Curious George with you. He prays and sings with us every night. He disciplines you when you need it because he wants you to grow up to know Jesus and to follow him. Your Dad doesn't care as much about you being happy and having whatever you want. He leads by example what it means to be joyful and content with what we have. And God has given us so much!
I could go on and on about your Dad. He's pretty great and I love him very much. I hope you always know that he loves you more than his own life.
Love,
Mom
