Coming Closer To Christ

The purpose of me writing this blog is to put my thoughts and impressions down in a place so I can help others come closer to Christ. My deepest desire for every person who reads this, is that they will have a desire of their own to take a step closer, no matter how big or small, to our Savior, Jesus Christ.

DADDY

My Daddy is my hero. He is the best example to me of what a true man is. He has loved and supported me through everything. I have put him through hell and back and he has never once abandoned me. He loves and supports my brothers. He loves my mommy and treats her like a queen. He has taught me how to communicate with love and respect. I could go on and on with everything that he has taught me, but I just want to share a few of my favorite memories of my dad and a few lessons I have learned.



My daddy is one of the smartest people I have ever met. I remember how much it used to drive me crazy because I would come home with a knew piece of knowledge and share it with him, but he already knew it! I am still amazed at just how much he knows. He always has a desire to learn more. (What a nerd!)

My dad has a unique sense of humor. I love messing with him when ever I can! I loved being able to paint his nails as a kid while he was asleep. There was this one time when my mom and I did it and he went to the gym to go swimming for exercise and forgot that his toe nails were painted! He came home and told us about that awkward experience for him. Oh how funny it was! He loves to tease me too. I love that he taught me how to have a sense of humor in life, because it makes it so much more enjoyable!


My papa has shown me how to work hard. I have always admired what a hard worker he is. Before I was born my papa started his own business and worked hard that now he has a thriving business with many employees and a lot of success. Even through all of his success, he has stayed humble. He doesn't boast of his own success, but rather has charity for all those around him. One time my dad and I went to my nana's home and were helping her fix her swamp cooler. I was on the roof with him and he had me stay up there and help him the whole time. I was hot and bored but he taught me that we needed to get the job done and do it good. So we worked hard and afterwards my nana asked us to help her with her garden, so my dad said yes of course! So we did her garden for her. After many hours in the heat we finally left and on the drive home, my dad said to me, "Don't you feel good now?" My reward for working hard was the amazing feeling I felt afterwards. I love to feel that now, so I work hard now because I know it is worth it.

This is a picture of my Dad working hard to restore Granddaddy's gun:

A favorite memory I have of my dad is when we were both sick and we were laying in his bed and he watched what ever movie I wanted to watch. Well this is when Twilight came out and I was in love with it. So my dear sweet dad, bless his heart, watched all the movies with me. He hated every last second of it, but he was willing to watch it for me. My dad has always been willing to do anything for his family. I have always cherished the time that my dad was willing to spend with me one on one. Family is one of the most important things to me.


I love my dad and everything that he has done for me. I am so grateful for the dad I have in this life. He is the best example of a true man and father that I could ever ask for.

Below is a video that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints came out with about our earthly father and our Heavenly Father. I love my Father in heaven and I love my earthly father.




HAPPY FATHER'S DAY Y'ALL
