Jewell Richins drove his daughter to her high school graduation. As they drove, he filmed her last ride of her senior year. During the ride, she sang a beautiful song.
He seems to be a single dad who loves listening to his daughter’s voice. As she hits sweet, soft notes to her melody, you can see the father perhaps reflecting on memories of her growing up. He holds back tears and smiles, even laughing at moments. Only the father really knows what is going on in his head.
We all experience the end of seasons and the beginning of new adventures in life. Emotions are part of the gift of being human. Whether you have recently gone through a life change or are about to experience one, this video will remind you that you are not alone and that there is beauty in transformation.
Even watching this imperfect earthly father beaming over his daughter in the car reminds me of the greater love given by our Heavenly Father. His care for us and delight in us is so much greater than anything we can imagine. He is proud when we honor Him and celebrates life’s victories with us, just like this father.
Whether you have an earthly father or not, this clip will remind you of God’s great love for you.
“If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Luke 11:13
