On Memorial Day all the R.C.I. Staff went to the park. We all played a little kick ball then I stopped and found a place I could sit in the sun. I laid down and just enjoyed having the sun on my face. I miss the sunshine when I don’t see it and when I can’t be out in it. But I was able to be in it all day and it was very nice.

All day the others played volleyball, kick-ball, soccer, ect. I was glad to get out and really be out getting some fresh air again. I enjoy God’s creation so much and believe you can learn about God just by enjoying what He has created for you.

After we were done playing and eating Dad sat down and told us a story as the sun was setting. A story of a man and his son and because of hurts, misunderstandings and expectations they were not close and did not love each other throughout there whole life.

I was glad I could not relate to that. Me and my Dad are so close and love each other very much. I just know it is not that way for many girls today. When I am older and someone asks me about my relationship with my Dad I will be one of the few that can honestly say my Dad loved me, spent time with me, talked things out with me, gave me Godly advice, listened to me talk, cried with me, laughed with me, let me know I was one of the most important things in life to him.

Dad talked about the importance of never letting anything come between you and your earthly father and never letting anything come between you and your heavenly Father.

I am so thankful that I can have that same relationship with my Father in heaven. I am so thankful that when I am straying He leads me back home like a good father should.
