Ashlyn and Thank you for Fathers Day

June 20, 2011 by Kirk Weisler

Ashlyn's magic fairy head quarters discovered in yard.

Fathers Day is a day where those who wish can honor and give thanks to their earthly Fathers for all they did for us, and all that they sacrificed so that we were able to become who we have become (so far). It can also be a day where we express our gratitude to a loving Heavenly Father for all that he has done for us… including the gift of His Son that gives us hope, purpose and help on our journey of becoming.

I love being able to be a Father and yesterday my family expressed their thanks to me. Then I expressed my thanks to them for the privilege and blessing of being their father. Then we jointly expressed our thanks to Him…who has given our family so very much.

It seemed like a perfect time to finally post this video that Joshua, Brittany, and Jacob put together of Ashlyn’s hospital experience and her miraculous recovery. A recovery that we attribute directly to the merciful & divine intervention of a loving Heavenly Father in response to the faithful and fervant petitions of so many of His children on her behalf. At the very end…Ashlyn has a special message she recorded just for you… I hope you will enjoy it, and feel the spirit of it. I think the kids did a great job on the video…what do you think?

Great job Ashlyn sibs! Often miracles pass us by, and we don’t notice. It must make God frustrated:) It is wonderful that you all took the time to chronicle the situation and the resulting miracle.

I loved following along during Ashlyn’s journey and God’s answer to all of our prayers. I was truly blessed throughout this experience. Your faithfulness and love as a family is a blessing unto others…at least it was to me! xxoo

I concur with all the comments already left. The Guatemalans have a saying that this hug is given for now and for when you need it. Here is a GREAT BIG hug to all of you. Thank you for taking the time to share with all of us your incredible family bond, love, strength, and faith.

Love your video, kids!! With God, all things are possible…
And Ashlyn, keep that song in your mind for the next twenty years because that song makes an awesome “Daddy-daughter” dance. My daughter picked it for her dance with her Dad at her WEDDING!!
Children truly are a blessing from God!
