### ****Reflection/Why I’m Grateful:****

 It’s Father’s Day—a day I treasure not just for the role I play, but for the gift of life itself. I’m thankful for my incredible children and the quiet moments we share. There’s beauty in the slow pace today—no rush, no pressure—just reflection, gratitude, and presence. On this day, I’m reminded how precious it is to breathe, to love, and to be loved.

# “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.”

# — Psalm 127:3 (ESV)
