There are so many things that I admire about my father-in-law. It would be easy for me to detail his quiet wisdom, his compassion for others or his unbridled love and protection for his family. I could tell you all about his faith by his actions, not only by his words. I could tell you about his undying love for my mother in law because he shows me how much he loves her every time I am around them. Another thing that I really admire about him though is that he would never waive his accomplishments in your face, although there are many. My father in law has raised and continues to raise 14 children to know and honor the Lord. He has taught his family to work hard, but has also shown them the importance of having fun together. My father in law has taught me so much, not the least of these is about patriotism. I rarely hear my father in law talk about his service to our country and I am not going to embarrass him by telling you about all of his awards, but they are very, very awe inspiring. You see, my father in law is a great man. He has never told me how great he is with his words, but I feel so very lucky to know him. My father in law is one of the greatest men I know. I want to honor you today dad for your service to God, family and country. Very well done!
Today I weighed in with a loss of 6 pounds. For the first time in as long as I can remember I am under 350 pounds and that fires me up!
