My children LOVE my Dad and they should, he is grandpa to them!!<!--more--> My dad has been my best friend since I was a little girl and I love that my children love him like I do. His birthday is on Christmas Eve. We made a tradition years ago that Dad comes over early on Christmas Eve morning and I make breakfast for him while my children make cards for him. We always put a candle in his blueberry pancake or omelet and sing happy birthday to him.<\/p>\n<p>A parent&#8217;s love is the first love we have that sets the example of how to love. A mother&#8217;s love is deep and all giving. A father&#8217;s love is strong and precious. God&#8217;s love is given to us first through our parents. I am beyond blessed that my parents were (and still are) capable of loving me unconditionally. They taught me and that is how I love my children now. That is how my dad (their grandpa) loves them. God&#8217;s love for each of us is as tender as a mother and as strong as a father and as unconditional as the love that Christ showed by hanging on that tree for each one of us.<\/p>\n<p>Love your children as deeply and fully as God loves you and they will love your descendants just as much!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Love your children like God loves you&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":10999,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[22,53,64],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10998"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10998"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10998\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
