I'd like to acknowledge and say Happy 59th Birthday to my dad, Phil Francis. The reason that I say he's a miracle man is because I've seen miracles in him, especially in the last 10 years.
There was a time that he was so lost in his own sin that I couldn't imagine him ever coming back. That was also the time that I had so much hatred for him in my heart that I could never imagine having, much less ever wanting a relationship with him again anyway.
Now, I'm not saying that things are perfect now, of course they're not! but what I do want to say is that our God is a redeeming God. He takes the utter mess of our lives and exchanges it for his healing when we cooperate with Grace. This is the action I've seen in our lives.
So, I'm thankful to have a restored relationship with my dad. I'm so glad he's turned his life back to the One who gave it to him in the first place. I'm glad he's out of the "fog" and that he has peace of heart.
I'm glad that I can tell my dad "I love you" and really mean it.
Happy Birthday, Dad.
