Christian Illustration: Thank You God for My Dad

Dear God,

Thanks for giving me a daddy. You knew just what I’d need! In case you need to make daddies for other kids, I thought you might like to know what I like best about the one you sent me:

A good dad ...
  1. knows everything (like how to tie shoes and drive a car)
  2. is really smart (he even knows where the wind goes after it blows through the trees)
  3. has a forgiving heart (for when I mess up)
  4. is loaded with patience, patience, patience (he probably won’t need it, but just in case...)
  5. has a comfy lap and a big laugh (you understand about that, don’t you?)
  6. tells me all about you and your son.
Your friend,
A Kid

P.S. I almost left out the best part! A good dad has real strong arms (to catch me when I fall. He says you’re just like that, too.)
