Heavenly Father,
We praise You for all Your gifts to us
In a special way,
We thank You for our parents
Bless them always in Your love
Bless us too, Holy Father,
for our father’s 80th birthday which we celebrate today
Give him health, strength, and peace,
and love him as You always have
Thank you Holy Father for letting me fly from overseas to be with him on this special day
I never thought I would be able to make it but you made all arrangements for me to be there
and make him so happy.
Being his only daughter he would have been so disappointed if I hadn't been there to celebrate it with him
I was so sad that when days became closer and when I thought I would not be able to make it but it is a miracle that everything worked out for me to arrive on time for this special day.
Thank you Holy Father I will always praise You and give You glory
Through Jesus Christ our Lord
Amen.
