Moochie, Fudgesicles, and Other Stories

Unlike a lot of people I know, I had a dad who stayed married to my mother for fifty-eight years. He was in love with her the whole time, and always loved his children, grandchildren, and great granddaughter. My parents were there for me in childhood and adulthood. Were they perfect? No. I wondered sometimes if they really understood me, but I never wondered if they loved me. I always knew they did. You may not be able to relate to my experience at all. Maybe your dad hated you, or maybe he abused you physically, emotionally, or both. Maybe your dad left when you were young, or before you were born, or has been incarcerated for years. Maybe your dad died before you ever met him. Whatever your relationship or lack thereof with your earthly dad, you have a Father who loves you very deeply. You may not have realized it, but He has been here for you all along. He wants a personal relationship with you. You need Him, even if you think you've got it covered now. In this book you will find stories both of what an earthly father should look like as well as what your heavenly Father looks like. If you don't know Him yet, these stories are a good opportunity for you to see what He is like. If you do know Him, you will enjoy reading stories about Him as well as stories about my dad and grandpa. I don't know why God chose me to be so blessed, but I know He wants me to share that blessing with you. Please open the book and be blessed as I take my privilege to share. "Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!" I John 3:1
