Dear Abba Father
I have known no greater joy than to be fathered by you. Your perfect love and sacrifice have made me who I am. You love me so well! Your perfect love frees me up to love like you.
I love every moment we share together. Your sense of humor makes my heart smile. Your timely words of wisdom and encouragement are priceless.
What wisdom and insight I have, I owe thanks to you.
All the gifts you’ve given me have been good and perfect. I love your unwavering support and belief in me. That you believe I have what it takes in every situation that life brings.
Thank you for sharing with me your love of adventure and spontaneity- nature and anything good. Because I’m a chip off the old block, I love to create and restore. Thank you for all my talents- they our an expression of you and your essence. Though I am far from perfect, in Jesus, I am a perfect example of your love. Man! I love how you love me!!
Like you, I really love being a dad and grandpa. As you have delighted in me I have delighted in and loved every moment of being a dad and grandpa. Following your lead as a dad has been amazing!
Thank you for my amazing wife. Man! I love your good gifts! Through the love Sue and I share, I have the privilege of being a dad and grandpa.
You know how much I love being a dad and grandpa! For Jen, Michael and Jordan – three amazing and awesome kids. Delighting in them comes so natural. Hmm I wonder where I got that from. :-). Thanks Abba!!
And the gifts keep coming! Being a Grampin to Caleb and Isla is like being a dad all over again. So much Joy!! Thank you Abba for making it all possible. Oh. Did I tell you how much I love being your son?!
Mostly, thank you for my older brother Jesus!! Without his love and perfect sacrifice none of this would be possible!! Jesus, thank you for bringing me back to Abba!! Man! do I love you for that!!
With all my love, Jonathan
