It must sound like I say this a lot, but I have an amazing husband. One worthy of celebrating every day. Ryan lavishes love on his kids daily, winning their hearts and pointing them to Christ. When I tend to complain about how difficult a given day is, Ryan walks it out with grace and patience. It’s evident - Hannah, Gabe and Abigail all adore him. When he’s home, Papa is the ONE they want (well, Abigail prefers Mama when she’s hungry and is happy with whomever holds her). And he opens his arms to them, scoops them up, and gives them the attention they love and crave from their Papa.

It’s no surprise why they adore Ryan. Ryan’s heart is to show his family the love of Christ. He presses in when there’s an unresolved issue between us, pursuing his wife’s heart. He’s patient with Hannah and Gabe, even when it would be easy to get angry and frustrated. He is a picture of Christ for me - showing me how Christ would show grace, give us room to fail and yet consistently grab us back into himself for the love and reassurance we all need and desire. Ryan, thank you for how you have so diligently pursued God and how you love your family. You fail at times, as we all do, but you remain a steadfast picture of Christ to us. We sure love you!

Ryan received another arrow for Father’s Day from Abigail Alyssa. His verse is Proverbs 20:7:

“The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him.” Blessed are you, Ryan, for your quiver is getting more and more full as the years go by! (Psalm 127:5).

Happy Papa’s Day, Ryan!  You are the best!
