Our Family Christmas gathering was the perfect opportunity to get a photo of 'mostly faces' for a frame that was given to my Darling Man for his birthday by one of our four girls. The space for the photo is small (6x6cm) so we will need to trim it to fit.The frame has some lovely words that fit their Dad perfectly...
'Father is a hero of life's daily adventures, who inspires his children with a man's wisdom and a boy's heart. He is firm in his guidance, gentle in his love, and selfless in his sense of duty.'
Raising four daughters has been a mixture of joys and challenges and we have needed lots of God's wisdom for the task! However, I feel honored and thankful to have these five special people in my life and to be able to call them 'my family'. And as a bonus, they bring their partners into our lives and family circle and we are double-y blessed!
Great photo and what gorgeous girls you have!! I'm the oldest of 5 girls in my family and everyone always says "your poor father!" when they find out, but he wouldn't have it any other way :)Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and your fam xo
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am eldest of 4 girls myself - so the girl thing is very familiar to me! My darling man & I have both been very happy to be 'specialists'! The girls are very lovely to their Dad (& me) - what's not to like about that!???
ReplyDeleteThe photo is lovely Sharon.
ReplyDeleteYes it's wonderful to praise the presence of a father,
sadly there are too many absent these days, and too many women alone/raising families alone,the most rewarding job, and the most difficult when not supported by a male presence. Del oxo
Yes, single parenting would be challenging I'm sure!
