Because it’s Father’s Day week, I am reminded daily of how blessed I am with a wonderful husband who is an amazing father to our children (almost all adults now). Moreover, I’m blessed with my own father who lives not far from us, who loved me and cared for me above and beyond what I needed.

Crater Lake, Oregon

My husband has always shared a connection with our children that’s gone deeper than words or activities. He’s passed on a spirit of love, strength, courage, acceptance, confidence, inspiration, and passion to our children. Kids never quite understand life as we adults do, but they’re beginning to understood more and more as they grow and mature, travel, finish college, and dream their own dreams for what they want to become. One of the greatest gifts that their dad has given to our kids is knowing them. Really knowing them, spending quality time, digging deep into their little hearts and minds, challenging their fears and passions, pulling out the nuggets of truths and strength that he’s understood is most important.

He’s always encouraged our kids to follow their dreams, which can be scary for a mom. As a mama hen, I want my kids around me. But on the other hand, I want them to fly. I want their lives to go the direction that God has for them. My husband helps me with this. Letting go … it’s never easy.

My eyes tear up when I think about the overwhelming support and love that Paul has for our kids.

Most recently, while the boys were away at college, and I was out of town, he and Abby went camping.

Crater Lake, Oregon

They love to camp. Daughter and Dad.

Sometimes they don’t talk to each other for hours. It’s just how they roll, each having a similar personality of needing that quiet time and distance from people.

But when they do talk, it’s deep, and he points out truths and digs up questions that she loves to answer, the kind that make a person really think.

Nature offers a chance to see the world through a much clearer lens.

Crater Lake, Oregon

They both have a love for nature, the beautiful natural world. This time, Crater Lake National Park nature. (We live in Oregon.)

A stunning day; beautiful smiles. Love the vibrant colors.

It’s in nature where their cups are filled and they then come back to reality, having lived a little deeper, a little more wondrously, with cares now diminished, hearts healed, joy flowing–and they are filled.

The relationship between my husband and our kids makes my heart sing. It remains one of my favorite things in this very big world.

They are simply the best, especially if you have leftover salmon in the fridge.

That, and a can of beans (which Bush’s Black beans also comes in low-sodium), add some delicious toppings, and you have the perfect Father’s Day meal.

Love the fresh summer taste of this recipe, especially with cucumber in the sauce, fresh guacamole corn and cilantro for a garnish!
