family! I asked Jesus who you are… this is what he said.
Daddio,
I miss your hugs:) I wanted to thank you for choosing me. thank you for loving me and teaching me my value and worth. Your words carry a weight in my heart that is unexplainable… You have sat me down for dinner and spoke words of life over me. You have taken me out for coffee and listened to my every fear and doubt. You’ve told me that I am beautiful just the way that I am. You have called me a leader. You have called me a daughter worthy of your love, patience, and gentleness. Once you asked me to write down the type of woman I wanted to be… I did… and you have helped me grow into that woman. Thank you for loving me, loving mom, loving our family, so well. You’re such a good dad.
I asked Jesus who you are… this is what he said
“He is a man of patience. He is a man of gentleness. He has persevered every battle in his life with boldness. He is learning to lean back into my arms. He is learning what it looks like to release control. He is finding freedom. I am so proud of my son… I am so proud of the way he loves. He reflects my love onto the daughters I have given him. He holds his wife in high esteem. He breathes boldness into his son. He is laying down his life for the kingdom… and he will join in angel armies and fight for my kingdom. My son you are safe here in my arms.”
