HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA
When I was a child, I’m dreaming of a
father who can always usher me inside the Jollibee to buy me a bunch of
chickenjoy and a lot of large fries.
A father who can buy me a dozen of
lovely and expensive barbiedolls..
A father who can build me a cute
yellow sunflower painted room filled with books, pillows and teadybears..
A father who earned above minimum
wage so that our dining table be filled everyday with a mouth-watering yummy
meaty foods..
My real father is far different from
a father I’m dreaming of having..
When I and my 3 siblings were only a
child, our dad always usher us inside the jollibee..
I MEAN, our dad always usher us
inside the Church teaching us to pray, worship, love and serve Jesus.
Afterwards, our dad will buy a lot of friedchicken and cheezyfries..
I MEAN, our dad will buy some pieces
of bread and together we’ll eat with a great joy in the spirit..
A GREAT JOY THAT NO AMOUNT OF MONEY
CAN BUY.
He is our dad who always usher us
inside the company where he work for, for us to lead a worship song as an intro
before his Bible Study. Afterwards, he will accompany us to their canteen and
together we’ll eat breakfast with a great smile..
A GREAT SMILE THAT ONLY JESUS AND OUR
DAD CAN GIVE.
He is our dad who pleads every
summer, “Will you please register my 4 children to that youthcamp even I don’t
have cash in hand and I’ll promise I’ll return to hand you the payment. I don’t
want them to miss what God will bring in that camp.”
He is our dad who says, “Enjoy your
life to the fullest with Jesus. I cannot give all that you wanted in life but
your Heavenly Father can do that..”
Pa, HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY po.
Every blessing we have in our lives now is the fruit of your labor in teaching
us that delighting ourselves to Him will give us our heart’s desire.
Pa, we’re not a “Pastor/Pastora” now
that you want us to be but we want to assure you that no one can separate us
from the love of Christ.
NO ONE.
PERIOD.
Pa, personally, thank you for being
such a thoughtful, methodical and steady father to me, understanding the partly
weird side of me : D
I asked God (recently) to give me
someone like you in the near future (God is laughing I guess : D
Thank you for reminding me that God
is faithful, creative and impeccable in His time and that was really the source
of my strength : )
Pa, I’m done letting go of the “Dream
Father” I’d constructed in my mind when I’m a child because for me, YOU’RE MY
FATHER WHO MAKE ALL MY DREAMS COME TRUE : )
Papa “Mhen” WE LOVE YOU <3
HAPPY BIRTHDAY <3
We really appreciate you <3
Love,
