Thank you for sharing this about your dad. I knew your dad and mom somewhat. Not as much as I would have like to have though. The first time I and my husband, Roger, saw your dad it was at a church in Tallahassee. He was a guest speaker. I believe his topic that Sunday was on marriage (definately something to do with the family).
He was a very kind man. When I think back now of all the times my husband and I saw him, I’d have to say your dad was always smiling.
And, he always pointed people to God’s word.
I remember him saying something one time that has always stuck with me and I have since shared the same phrase with others… it was this… “what will you do if God choses not to change your situation?” I sat there stumped liked… I never thought of that, I had always envisioned and hoped that God would change my situation to make it more bearable.
That was many years ago… My situation hasn’t really changed, but by His grace things are very bearable. I think that is what your dad was saying to me that day. Not to trust that things will improve to always be good, but trust in Him who can carry me through things even if they are not always good.
Thank you for sharing and for setting up this forum so others can share too. debby
