A True Wise Man

June 21, 2011 by Tracey 3 Comments

This is the fourth in a series of open letters to some who have touched my life.

Dear Dad,

If ever a little girl was made to feel like a princess, it was I.  No matter my age, you always treated me with love and respect.  Your boundaries were clear, your discipline as promised, but your heart for your children always shone through.

While there had to be seasons when your time and your money were in short supply, it never seemed that way to us.  You sacrificed in whatever ways necessary to make sure we had what we needed.

There’s never been a hint of hypocrisy; you practice what you preach.  Your wisdom continues to guide us all – the wisdom gained only by countless hours spent in the presence of the Heavenly Father. 

Thank you for your prayers, your guidance, the Godly example you live out before us.  I am unceasingly blessed to have you as my father and as the grandfather of our children.

With highest esteem and deepest love,

Your oldest daughter
