This is just a short personal post. Tonight I received the best compliment I have ever received. My daughter Becca mailed a letter as she left for Africa. She wanted to make sure I got a Father's Day card since she will be incommunicado for the next month. In it she thanked me for raising her to experience life and love adventure. She talked some about the privilege of going to Africa. Then she said, "Dad, thank you for loving God more than you love me." That is the best compliment. Becca made my heart sing and my love grow for both her and God. Today is a good day.

LOVE to pray for all the Coffeys...
Love getting to peek at your heart...it's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
What a blessing!
After I read your post on Daddy Adventures, I really began to appreciate my husband's relationship with our little girls in a new way. I even had him read the post and told him that it reminded me of him.(I was a bit frightened to have him read about the cliff diving, though, because are girls are still only 1 and 3 and I didn't want him getting any such "adventurous" ideas quite yet.) I never made the connection of the way he plays with the girls and the way they learn to trust him with the way they will learn to trust their heavenly Father. Thank you for helping me to appreciate another Godly attribute in my husband! It's also a great inspiration to read how your children have carried that with them throughout their lives. Thanks for sharing!
