My Dad

I recently lost a very important person to me: My Dad. Throughout his short sickness and death, God's glory was ever present. Even now, after the funeral, whenever I have a weepy moment, I feel His comfort all over and around me. The Holy Spirit is truly a comforter. I love my dad and he was truly a GOOD DADDY. He loved us dearly and he TAUGHT US many life lessons that I feel are not taught as much now or with as much emphasis. He made us work and he made us save. NO. No blowing money on foolish things like kids do today. He made us to get bank accounts and we had to get our school supplies FIRST before we spent it on wants. He taught us how to be diligent and to work hard. He taught us to be responsible. When I was growing up, some of these lessons were hard and many times I thought dad was mean, but in reality, he was teaching us and now that I am grown with a family of my own, I appreciate all his life lessons.
My dad was a man of strong integrity and character. You always knew where you stood with him. There was never any confusion. The world has truly lost an old school teacher who did not believe in short cuts or deception, but honesty and hard work. He will truly be missed. And, although earth might not have his wisdom and strength here, it lives on in our hearts.
We are his legacy and every heart that he touched carries it. Heaven has gained a warrior!
