Dad’s first look at the Bride

and

as always…

she took his breath away.

The first man she ever loved…

“Does my wedding gown look pretty, Daddy? Daddy, don’t cry”

And because it was too hard to say out loud

the words she wished to say,

she instead placed them on a video

in a very special way.

“Oh, with all that I”ve done wrong I must have done something riight. To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses… I couldn’t ask God for more… I know I gotta let her go, but I’ll always remember Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses…”

hugs n’ blessings to all the daddy’s who let their little girls go, so they could change their name …

especially this Father’s Day Weekend.

“These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”

Deuteronomy 6:6-9

it’s the monday giggles…and these are lovely ones to share.

I see a lot of people

in the world

and most of them

make me smile,

but you’re different.

You make

my heart smile!

For my daughter I sensed that my release of her would be a new “different.” My expectations of the circumstances were different; my preparation would be different. I sensed the difference, but wondered what this new difference would feel like.

And where would God be?

This weekend I found the answer (to both) in the

JOY

that I witnessed

in the difference in her, my darling daughter!

And just how much of Him there already is

reflected in this heart of hers,

which is becoming whole.

“Forty days before an embryo is formed, a heavenly voice calls out—so and so is to marry such and such,” says the Talmud. This has been orchestrated from before you were born. Your souls are partners, matching halves of a single whole. The Talmud describes the search for a spouse as looking for that “lost part” of yourself. -a parable

The Joy of seeing

(how beautiful it is)

that God has indeed made

the half to her completeness.
