My dad...

So...it's Father's Day...and I spent the day with my sisters and my mom at the place I grew up...

and...

I kept thinking about the legacy my dad left...

So...

here it is....

my gratitude to my dad for teaching me to:

be fiercely proud of my country...


be organized...


be ready to see the needs of my community...
  
 be prepared....

 have a place to escape to for prayer...

give to those I may never meet here on Earth...

and most importantly...to accept Jesus as my Savior...

What a legacy....
  "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." 
Proverbs 3:5-6

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:7

"In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly."
Psalm 5:3



I thank you oh Lord, my God, for my earthly father. I thank you for the assurance I have in your Word in knowing he is with you today. I thank you for the strong influence he was on my life....for drawing me to you. Even through the grief, I Praise you Lord! Praise you Lord! Praise you Lord!
