Note to self: The truth is, every family has their dysfunctions, there is no such thing as a perfect family. I am blessed to have been raised by two loving parents, ones who taught me to put God first in all I do. In a fallen world, having two parents that raised their children to do the right thing and lead by example is more than enough to ask for.
I consider my dad very protective, he definitely looks out for his children especially his daughters. He means well, he wants to make sure people are not taking advantage of his kids. One thing I love about him is how he treats my mother, with love and compassion. Similar to my mom, my dad makes many sacrifices for our family, he too puts others before himself.
There were many times I took his quality characteristics for granted but now that I am older I can see how he put forth more than enough of his effort in raising me and my siblings to have a good head on our shoulders. It took me quite some time, but I can see clearly how significant his parenting techniques are.
Dear God: Thank you for blessing me with a dad that is consistent, loving, and gracious. Thank you for giving me the privilege to be his daughter. Help me to lead by example the way my dad showed me. Lastly, thank you for placing my parents together.
Sincerely, coming with an open heart.
