I had the priviledge of spending time with my Father-in-Law today! For the past few years we have gotten together to Christmas shop! How lucky am I!?!? :)
I'm not sure how many years we've been doing this but I'm calling it a tradition because it's been more than 3.
We have a really great time doing this! We come up with good ideas and get alot accomplished! Not to mention our conversations are funny and we catch up!
When the whole family gets together, it's a great time, but Dad usually sits back and just enjoys us. When we go on our shopping sprees he opens up and talks! It's always interesting and I learn more about him. Today, I learned about how God brought him to his place of business and what a key role he allowed God to play in his life. He followed Gods plan and if he didn't he would've been somewhere else and well Dave would never have met his beautiful bride...Tami. Oh-yeah-sorry that is me. Back to subject.... ;)
God blessed me with a great Dad growing up. I couldn't have imagined a better one! God loved him so much more that He took him home to be with Him! So...while I'm here on earth, God blessed me yet,again, with a wonderful Father-in-Law.

That's awesome! What a wonderful tradition! I've never considered doing something like that with my father-in-law. I'm proud of you!
That is so sweet! What a great thing to do with your Father-in-law. And who would have thought it would involve shopping?! He MUST be amazing!
That story brought tears to my eyes -- seriously. Thanks for sharing it with us.
