For our dad

For Father's Day, my stepdad's church collected writings from the children of each dad and put them up on a powerpoint display during church. My dad's four girls wrote about him, but only one letter was displayed. Here are my thoughts and the thoughts of my sister Leah about this wonderful man who we love so much.
"When I think of my dad, Tom Cheatham, my thoughts are immediately directed to God. That's because he is a continual example to me of how God can change each one of us to be more like Christ as we obey His Word. Dad is someone that I can see changing each year. He makes the Word of God and the things of God high priorities in his life and decision-making. He is always ready to listen to me and to encourage me to do what is right. I do not doubt his love for me because he demonstrates his love to me more and more each year that I am privileged to be a part of his family. I love him very much and wish him a wonderful Father's Day."
