You can kiss your family good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world, but a world lives in you.

BUMC Father Daughter Dance



The church held its annual Father Daughter Dance this past weekend and it was the perfect excuse for the girls to get dressed up in their pretty pink dresses one more time for a date with Daddy and Grandpa Jackson. We missed the event last year, but after this year, we won't miss another. The church fellowship hall was decorated beautifully...I can't describe it well enough to do it justice. There was pink and white tulle draped around all the doors and little white lights were glowing from underneath. There were candles and sprinkles on all the tables. There was a red carpet at the entrance and garden trellis at the end for picture taking before entering the fellowship hall. The lights were dim, the music was playing and there were lots of things for the girls to do...eating ice cream sundaes, making a bracelet, and taking a horse and buggy ride. At the end of the evening, each of the girls got a special "gift" from their date. It was a silver charm of a gift because the theme for the night was "Every Good and Perfect Gift is from Above." After the girls received their charms, Pastor Julie said a prayer over all of them and then the night started to wind down. The girls had a great time and I think the daddy's did too.
