Everywhere you go you hear, "Dads are so vital and important to children and the family". It had never been so apparent to me than the other day. In our family, we are blessed beyond what we could ever ask for because we are self employed and make time to volunteer; be it at the girls schools, our church or the various charities who often approach us to donate our services. Needless to say, we are INVOLVED!! The moms in our little ones class are used to seeing Daddy & Mommy. From being the appointed Yearbook reps to Mystery Reading, you name it, we've done it. Doesn't matter how late Daddy got in from work, how many hours he has to work later. He realizes that these opportunities wont last forever and each one is an chance for God to use us/him. I find myself praying for one specific little girl and her family from "our class". Not sure what her mom and dad do, we see mom from time to time lending a hand. But, the words she spoke to me recently, play over powerfully in my mind... "Your husband is so nice! Mine would NEVER volunteer here!" It made me so sad as I thought, WOW! That's the REAL WORLD! Dads are so important, we're so lucky that our "Daddy" loves God. Through God, he knows there's a bigger picture and in turn is molding our girls to be the best versions of themselves that they can be!!
