Today is Father’s Day, and it has been a wonderful day to celebrate together.  First of all, we give thanks to our heavenly Father for His abundant love, mercy, and healing power.  Without our Lord paying the supreme price for our healing and salvation, our lives could never be the same.

I would also like to thank God for giving our family a wonderful spiritual leader in Joseph’s earthly father, David, who I am blessed to call my husband.  He would not want me to brag on him, but he definitely deserves it.  He worked tirelessly in the days, weeks, and months following Joseph’s accident.  On only a few hours of sleep a night, he was in constant contact with doctors and medical staff, working with the insurance company, and was by our son’s side, caring for him, day and night.  He is a rock and doesn’t seem to mind when we lean on him pretty hard.  He’s got big shoulders!

Joseph is doing great back home in Knoxville.  He finished a “fast track” course during the month of May, and has started the summer semester at the University of Tennessee.

Thank God for all of you great fathers out there who are showing your families God’s love and strength through your godly example.  Happy Father’s Day!
