Family Values
I remember as a kid going to Church and Grandmas every Sunday to visit Grandma and Grandpa and my Aunt Adiline and our six cousins. The adults always greated each other with hugs and always seemed to have plenty to laugh and talk about.
Later Dad would come out play baseball or basketball with us. There was always plenty of laughter some arguing but plenty of hugs after the game was over.
Through these times I learned how important it was to have God in my life and that Family always helps family! We were going to church with dad if we wanted to or not. But as we got older and and we began a personal relationship with Jesus we continued to go to the same church with dad and helped each other through all the tough times and rejoiced as God blessed our family.
If I learned nothing else from my dad, I learned how important it was to be a prayer warrior! When i would listen to Dad lead the congregation in prayer after taking prayer requests...He at time prayed with such heat felt tenacity...he began to weep and sob as he brought the requests before the throne of God ...humbling himself before God ... then Praising and Glorifying God for his wonderful love....I miss you dad. I am thankful to God for you in my life. I love you ... and am confident that you are in the congregation with the saints in heaven...Thank you Father God and Lord Jesus
