One of my favorite times was when I was playing hide and seek with my Dad  when I was just 5 years old.  It was such a beautiful and wonderful day for me.
   My other favorite time was when my Dad got the Bible out and would read to us kids about Jesus and His love.  He would read about the love He gave us and all the wonderful things that He did.
   My other brothers and sisters would leave, but I was always the last one to leave.  I wanted to know more about this man named Jesus.
   My father had a lot of faith in God and knew what God could do.  He knew that God could do anything.  He just had that much faith.  He knew that prayer would change things forever and that God would take care of His own.
   I know that God has had His hand on my live.  All my life God has always been there to protect me from things like almost drowning, getting hurt and falling down.
   I don’t know where I would be without Him.  He’s just everything to me.  Jesus is my reason for living; singing; loving; caring and sharing.
   I love Jesus with all my heart, my soul and my spirit.  All that I have within me.  Praise His holy name forever and forever.  All my hopes, dreams and all my love, I give to Jesus and everyone.
   Jesus came to love, heal and forgive.  He came to save the lost and those dying in their sin.  It is my love and dream to share and show others what Jesus did for me.  To let others know that Jesus came for you and me.  I will always tell people that God is love and Love is God!
   This love, this dedication that came from my father’s teachings has caused me to strive to be the girl, my daddy taught me to be.  I believe he would be proud.  I pray that my Father, God can also be proud of His little girl.
