On this day, some (cough, ahem) years ago a great man was born. Maybe you know this man and maybe you don’t, for although he is a great man he is not well known throughout the world. The things this man has done have never been recorded in history books nor has there ever been a newspaper article written about him. Most people who pass him on the street don’t even give him a second glance. This man isn’t famous or powerful.
So what is it about this man that makes him great?
He was husband to a godly wife and he raised five God-fearing children. He preaches in a small, largely unknown church where he teaches his flock, through his words and actions, what it means to love Jesus.
That is what makes him a great man. And not only do I have the privilege to call this man my father, he is also my friend.
Happy Birthday, Dad!
I love you!

Happy Birthday, Dad!
My life is significantly better thanks to your father's willingness to instruct me in the Word and in the ways of godly living. I hope that his birthday this year is the happiest yet.
