Father's Day

Father's Day at our home has traditionally been the day that Jeff would have chosen to sleep in a bit and just watch tv or maybe go to the lake. This Father's Day was a glimpse of future Father's Days to come. We had 5 boys with us on Saturday night, which is about the usual. By the time we left for church on Sunday we had 11 boys with us. 11 boys who wanted to spend father's day with their "dad". Jeff got more Father's Day cards, hugs, and phone calls than he's ever gotten in the past. Jakobe was especially excited about the Father's Day card he got for Jeff because it had a deer on the front. He knows Coach Jeff likes to hunt, he also gave Coach Jeff $2.00 that he had earned. He said he thought he deserved it more.

Sunday morning we were invited by Wendall Hill, a PC dad and the boys football coach, to attend a special Father's Day service at his church. Third Creek Baptist opened their doors with welcome arms to the boys. Wendall had the entire church moved to tears with his wonderful message. His speech especially touched me and Jeff when he spoke wonderful words about the work that Jeff is doing, and the plan that God has laid on his heart. It was a wonderful thing to be so welcomed. The boys enjoyed the music, and mostly the hotdogs and cupcakes they had prepared for the boys after the service.
