Philip, I want to tell you a story.
and like all good stories it starts like this…
Once upon a time, there was a father and in case you can't figure that out, that's me.
This father was looking forward to having a daughter.
Then one day, he found out his wife was going to have a baby.
So I prayed, "Lord if is your will...make her a little girl." And he did.
I was the first person to hold her in my arms.
And I look at her and said, "Lord make her like her mother." And he did.
She was loving and giving and so good and so kind.
But then I realized I was getting left out.
So I said, "Lord, make her like me." And he did.
She was charming, sympathetic, intelligent, cultivated.
Do you realize what you're getting?
But at the same time, she was opinionated. Emotional and hard-headed.
So I said, Lord that's enough of that! Make her like YOU. And he did.
He gave her the desire to serve people. She loves people.
He gave her a heart for missions and she's trekked Chinese and foreign.
So she could tell people about Jesus.
But still something was missing. So I said: "Lord, make her happy."
And she met you.
You see that look on her face? I never saw that, until she met you.
So I'm grateful for that.
Today I'm giving you the best thing I have to give.
And I just wanted you to know before I do that...
How hard me and God has worked to get her ready.
So Philip, as I give her to you, I don't think you'll mind if I give you one more word of advice.
Me and God's worked hard...
Philip to take care of Vicky as your own life.
Don't screw it up.
