Oh how I would love to spend precious moments like that with my dad. I just returned from vacation in CA where my daughters and I spent two weeks under the same roof with my dad. Our time was wonderful, but I didn't feel like I could fully be myself because my dad is not a believer. He believes in some greater being, but won't commit to anything beyond that statement and he has no idea how to relate with me on the subject of faith. So it's like a giant elephant in the room that we try not to pay attention to. It saddens my heart. Every day I pray for God to bring someone into his life that he'll listen to, so he'll eventually find a place for God in his heart and lifestyle. Cherish those sweet moments with your dad. :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />RosannAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594967600495492941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488152270326221518.post-70442695812263738372011-08-29T15:03:51.324-05:002011-08-29T15:03:51.324-05:00Katherine,

My dad and I weren't close ...Ohhhh how sweet!!!<br />My dad and I weren't close growing up, not until the past few years really. <br />Since turning 70, and finding a life-giving, Bible preaching, Jesus loving church, he has completely transformed. He just got back from his third missions trip (the first was at age 72). He calls us often, just because something reminded him of us (we used to go months without talking). The love of Jesus in his heart shines through and I love it!!!!<br /><br />I am truly thankful I get to experience this time with my dad this side of heaven!

The gift of writing from your heart.To evoke such emotions in others from the words you write is a blessing and one which other writers never realise.<br /><br />Your other Father, of course, has allowed you to nurture your God given gift.He can't fail to see it shine from your very core.<br /><br />You're a blessing to them both and to us all.<br /><br />LxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322496275100753654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488152270326221518.post-34413273384823788952011-08-28T01:36:40.981-05:002011-08-28T01:36:40.981-05:00Hi Erin - this is such a lovely post.
