An obvious, yet heart-felt, Thank You goes out to all the Dads out there. I love my dad, he's jsut the best!
I have always been my Daddy's little girl and am so grateful for all he's given and done for me. He's always worked really hard for my family, and tried hard to teach us how to do the same. I'm much like my father, and as such, find it really hard to express emotion or feeling. I do love my dad, and know that he loves me, but it's not something often said between us. I missed him and his wise counsel while I was away from home this year and I would just like to take this day, dedicated to him, to express that openly. I Love You Daddy.
Today wasn't as good as most Sundays for me. It started out lousy, got a bit better, and finished okay. I did, however, enjoy the talk given in church today by Bishop Pilling. He spoke about fathers' responsibilities to his children and families. I am gratefulf for all my father does to uphold those responsibilities and to ensure that we are each taken care of.
Along with this shout out to the dads, I also want to say a quick thank you to all the great men in my life. I have been really blessed to know and love all of you, and because of your examples and love for me. I thought much today about the priesthood, and how lucky I am to be a part of a church where so many men around me have the opportunity to use this sacred power. I am grateful for it and am truely blessed to have it so readily available to me, as I need it. I don't know how people get along without this power and without the worthy men around us all, who use it so wisely.
So thank you to all those big strong men around me who are jsut trying to do what's right. Thanks for sticking it out and for staying strong. Thanks for doing your best, and for being worthy to help me in all the ways I need and want you to. You guys do so much and you are all great. Keep up the good work!
This has nothing to do with Father's, but the first week I was here in Utah we sang "Be Still My Soul" ..at least I think thats the name of it; the song you made us sing lots when you were music person. You and that song are hand in hand in my heart. It makes for some hard Sundays seeing as I remember crying the last time I sang it when you were in the same ward as me.
