Hey Preston, I am 17 yrs old, and I live in a single home without a father. I pray that my marriage one day will be as strong as you and Jackie's. I also pray that I will be the gentle, but strong father to my kids, just like you.
Nigel Walton hello dear, I've grown without a father figure as well. Still we can't look to humans to define the standard of an institution God has made, no matter how perfect they seem. Our prayer towards marriage should be with the image of Christ and the church in mind. That we are as strong and inseparable as Christ and His body, bonded by the love of God . that should be our standard as well. 🤗 The poem is beautiful and I'm naming my kid Eden😆
Nigel Walton your post reminded me of this verse. Preston is who he is today and continues to be who God calls him to be by keeping his gaze on Jesus, who changes us from the inside out. Be encouraged brother. ”How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word” Psalm 119:9.
Wow!! This poem was soo beautiful. I cannot wait for Eden to be old enough to watch this poem and comprehend how blessed she is to have Preston and Jackie as parents.
After watching this.. I pray that My Children will one day understand that i have a heavenly Father who raised me again and again and one day, I pray He too will raise them. That every word I have ever spoken was meant to speak life over them and mystify death. God bless you Mr and Mrs Perry.
whoa! this is ART on a spiritual, physical and emotional level. sheesh, the closing line was powerful! A prayer I am sure God will's to answer. God bless the Perry's!!!!
Joe is really refining his art! The edits were perfectly timed with the sentiments and the wording of this piece! I'm both blessed and impressed. God bless you Preston
I have a daughter named Eden Rose. I absolutely love the way you made this a tribute to your daughter while acknowledging God throughout the whole piece. God bless you and your family. I pray that you all grow in your hunger and devotion for God and may the Lord continually shield and protect your lives and ministry. Blessings!
What a beautiful prayer! I just prayed it over mine as well; …Like You gave them to me, I give them back to You, for You to father them as You have fathered me. ❤ Amen. ❤
My father abandoned me when I was 1 year old. He moved to US and he’s been hiding from me and even his family for 50 years. I’m 52. Sometimes I wish I could hug him and tell him everything is fine. My husband is a great father. I thank Jesus Christ that I was the one fatherless but my children have a good Christian dad. Thank you Lord.
The beauty in this poem clashes so well with the video. Eden is truly beautiful and blessed to have a mother and father like Mr. and Mrs. Perry. I pray that some day in my future that God will teach me to be a good mother of a child with an amazing father. Such as I see here... it just leaves me speechless and in ahh. God continue to bless the Perry family even more than you have blessed me.
Omg as soon as I saw the beiggining of the video where she's walking along on the other corner with her small belly and tryna follow her dad's steps, my first tear came out 😭😭
Man...I for real almost cried...its the same I feel for my little mister...moulding him in God's image and growing him to be a minister...a minister to God and a preacher to the masses while he runs circles around what I could've done as he supercedes and surpasses me...he'll do more than I ever could've dreamed or hoped as HE teaches me to mature and coaxes me into how to cope...unbeknownst to me one of my greatest teachers passed through my wife's loins, a product of me because he WILL have what I didnt...a smile, and he will not have what I did...pain, and he will have what I didnt....guidance, and he will not have what I did...anger...to give my prince the chances that I never had and to spare him the pain i was steeped in...its all I can say...(Tst5)
This has to be the most lyrically eloquent way of expressing a fathers love for his child, while mirroring how much God loves us 10x that amount. Creativity astounding!
I had a child when I was 15 years old. 8 years later I got married to my best friend (not my first sons dad) and two years later we had a son. We named him Eden...I said this child is going to be a delight to everyone he meets. He is going to be beautiful and a blessing to those around him. And he is exactly that. I love the name. And you and your wife have a super cool story, so the name is even more beautiful to me. God bless you!!
Wow 😮 a beautiful poem brought tears 😭 of joy of the fathers heart for his daughter. Such a precious beautiful little girl she is blessed and a blessing.
Eden is beautiful. God bless your amazing family. The last line got me crying.. I have the same prayer for my girls.. i return them to their maker and my the Lord Father them.. amen.
How tender and honest, with naked, transparent, heartfelt truth!!! Simply beautiful; I'm sure Eden will be blessed once she is old enough to read and understand her daddy's expression of love for her!!! God bless you Mommy and Daddy Preston!!!🤗😇👏👌👑☝👐👣❤
Beautiful!!!! And may you Preston and Jackie stay under the precious hand of the Lord who love you guys and created you both for each other. I'm praying!!!
I spent so long being told by doctors I had fertility issues... only to realize lovingly and graciously God denied me pregnancy because I would have made idol of the child, just as I had been making idol of the partner I choose to attempt conception with.... Your wife, her book, but also how you both together share of God’s Love through the sharing of your union, of your parenting...it has all just really been a call to obedience & a reminder that whom and what God places together Is far better than anything I could attempt to make happen on my own
Good Lord. Good Lord. This is profound and simple and so so true. Thank you man. 4reals. You put this fatherhood life to Words. #FatherhoodLife #GirlDad
this is so BEAUTIFUL, and the best thing about the love for your child or children it NEVER change...you said what I've always felt towards my 2 boys but didn't know how to put in words after they came from my womb and heard them cry for the first ❤❤
That was amazing I love it even more because of how much I could relate to those worries but at the same time also find God had the answer! God bless you and your family Perry.
WOW...Preston the love expressed in this art-filled vignette is so so breathtaking, emotionally mature and gleams with soul sincerity! Eden is a beautiful chocolate young daughter of Zion and I thank you for sharing her with us since her birth...bless your family ❤! From one Artist to another...just WOW!!! *snap snap*
Thanks for making me cry...I literally felt the love of the Father come in....well no His love is always here i just became more aware of His love in this moment. Thank you!!
Preston, this is absolutely beautiful. Your gift has perfectly captured the beauty of Eden and our heavenly father. Happy Father's Day. Blessings to you and the family. 💖💖💖
I rewatch this video everytime I need reminders and encouragement as I grow into parenthood. Thank you for painting such a beautiful word picture of love, grace and the awesome privilege we have to stewards Gods little ones parents. Grateful you share your gift and heart with us!
This is wonderful! It brought me back to the perfect Love of God who is the perfect parent of all. I sure know that my children will receive His tutoring through my parenting. God bless you for this. Perfect piece. I'm off to read where it all began, the Genesis!
