Ten Reasons My Daddy is Amazing…
1. If I find him in his rocking chair, I still crawl in his lap and he holds me. Without complaining. And I’m sure I’m heavy.
2. I remember him singing me to sleep every night…”Because He Lives” and “Something About That Name.”
3. I always find toasted almonds and pecans in his kitchen…and he shares! (my favorite)
4. He substitute teaches everyday at a high school, which is a thankless severely underpaid job, and the kids LOVE him. They request him by name. And when I’m around, they say, “Hey, isn’t Mr. Hayes your dad?!?”
5. He watches every Georgia Football game (on mute) while listening to Larry Munson on the radio…100% sold out to the Dawgs.
6. He loves to read the Word. Frequently. With Discipline. Actually, he’s disciplined about everything he does.
7. He’s the most wise person I know.
8. He’s a Mac convert. Yea-yeah! And a fan of all new tech gadgetry.
9. I have fond memories of riding around in his truck listening to the Oldies station…and I now know lyrics like “Sittin’ on the dock of the bay…”
10. He loves my kids. And they love their Papa. He plays with them. And reads to them. And talks to them. And prays for them.
I understand (from a human perspective) how much God loves us, because I know how much my daddy loves me.
*so thankful*


he really is so great!

Oh no, I missed this one until now. I need to be typing for school, but I want to cry - mushy feelings. I love that man and I am so glad he is your Daddy and Matt’s. He IS a steadfast example of God’s love. Yes, he does pray for you and your family everyday and for the girl’s salvation.

I love your daddy! He not only takes care of his biological children, but the (30-something year-old) kids at school, too.
YEAH!
And he buys presents!!!!
