Integrity

Integrity....it may not be a word that is always on our minds. It is however, a word that we should all strive to live out on a daily basis.

Tonight as excitement was mounting inside little Miss Natalja, for the annual Daddy/Daughter Dance at our church, sickness was mounting inside of Bud. For weeks we had been talking about how much fun this night for just the two of them would be.  We had the perfect outfit bought and ready to go. I had been secretly planning my attack on Natalja's hair and knew all the accessories that she would adorn. And the tickets had been paid for and kept safe. Now, it was the big day and Bud could hardly keep his head up due to all the congestion. Not a moment passes, without a sniffle from him.

As we sit down eating dinner, Bud looks across the table into Natalja's sparkling big blue eyes, and knew that he needed to take her to the much awaited dance. Despite however he felt, teaching his daughter how a man should treat her, was more important than a moments rest. With both of them ready and Bud's body packed with medicine, they took off to go the dance, for it's only a moment that she will be this little.
