ReplyDeleteGood Morning.
ReplyDeleteNot only was Dad my Father in Law,but He was also my First Pastor,and discipled me in the things of the Word of God.I will never forget his Kindness to Pats and I,as we were a Young couple struggling.Believe me,I am not Handy at all,and Dad many times and one example is the Bathroom in the Trailer we owned in Everett,that you fixed.My Father in Law and more importantly My Brother in Christ.2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.Your race is done,You are Home.We all shed tears,because your not with us,but for you-Rejoicing in the Presence of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.2 Corinthians 5:8.The Confidence I have is because of What Jesus has done for us on the Cross,We will be together again.And during your life you built homes,now you are in that Mansion on the Hilltop.
I'm satisfied with just a cottage below
A little silver and a little gold
But in that city where the ransomed will shine
I want a gold one that's silver lined
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold
Though often tempted, tormented, and tested
And like the prophet my pillow's a stone
And though I find here no permanent dwelling
I know He'll give me a mansion my own
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold
Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely
I'm not discouraged I'm heaven bound
I'm but a pilgrim in search of the city
I want a mansion, a harp and a crown
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold.

My father was a simple man who was happy with the little blessings he had. He raised a large family on a small income but we always felt we had an abundance of what we needed.
ReplyDeleteMy father was very generous and always gave if asked, even if he had very little. I remember once as a little girl being outside working in the garden with him, someone drove up to our house and asked for money. My father took out the last few dollars he had and gave without though of his own needs. He always knew God would provide.
My father taught me many times in life that LOVE is just a word if there is no action behind it.
My tears are selfish I know,but they are because you are not here with us.Dad is now seeing his Savior and God face to face which is his life's achievement.
ReplyDeleteTwo beloved memories of Dad are:
I was a teen when he was building the parsonage at Sunshine Church.I decided to go out and help.He said-Sure,grab a hammer.I watched his powerful arms drive those spikes in with 1-2 blows!Then I attempted to follow.It took me about 20-30.He said-What are you doing;here,hold the hammer like this,stand this way,use your whole arm.Well,then I nailed it with 15-20.But of course I wanted to know how to do everything and asked lots of questions.He asked-What are you doing writing a book?I said -Yes its called The Question and Answer Book.From time to time during my growing years he would ask how the book was going.I always said that I was still working on it.
The second is more recent.Dad had Sue and I beside each other in his cell phone contact list.Often he would hit the wrong one.I would answer and he would start talking about something and then say-Did I do it again?We would laugh and have a quick chat.He would say that he needed to change his list.I would say No I don't mind the extra calls.I loved hearing from him;it made my day.
Barb, Emily and family, We just heard the news and we are deeply saddened. We know he is rejoicing in heaven. He always had a smile on his face and would greet us as he past our house to walk to the church, Evangel. He always had a friendly word or a funny joke. He always made Emily make a funny face or laugh when he came to pick her up from our house. We remember times he would unload bags of bread and baked goods every week that he picked up from Genuardis to bring to the homeless shelter. He served like Christ. We will miss Pappie. Love, Kim, JR, Ryan, Jeremiah and Nathan

My grandfather to me was a wonderful man. My grandfather married me back in August 6th,2004 at 5pm in the evening. Before my wedding we had a couseling session. He wanted to make sure me and my husband had what it takes to have a wonderful life together. I can say within the past 7yrs this year it had its tough times and good times. But through all that we are as in love as the day we married and heres to my grandfater I thank him for our marriage and our life. He taught me to go for what you want and make a go of it and that marriage is work and if you want it to work it will. I also get to watch my grandfather in my wedding video when he married me and my husband. When I found out he passed onto the new life I was very upset as we all are. I pulled out my video and just listened to his words he spoke and somehow felt at ease. I know he's not in pain anymore and he is with our good lord and I know the lord will take care of him. I didn't get to know him to well being so far away. But I did love him and care about him. Somehow when he married me I alway's would go back to my video and listen to the words he spoke to me that day and made me wanna work things out with my marriage. He also married my mother and father and look at them today happily married even through the tough times. My grandfather has truly been an inspiration in my life,my kids lives,and in my marriage. He will alway's be in my heart and in my life.
ReplyDeleteI will always love you grandfather

I have many memories of my Pappy throughout my life. Mostly when I visited he was missing in action because he always had something to do or take care of. Weather it was mowing the grass or working on his car and in most cases visiting people and church business. He always made the most of his days and when he would finally retire for the night I would watch him snore away in his recliner. I never minded it, I would keep myself occupied with my aunts, uncles and cousins and always had a wonderful time visiting every summer.
ReplyDeleteAs Pappy and I both matured in age we were able to have a lot of memorable talks. He helped me understand some very confusing times growing up and how to deal with what life handed us. We had some commen threads that bonded us and since he went through them before me, he taught me how to manage them. I'll never forget how he seemed to always be there right when his presence was needed.
His laugh, smile, teasing demenor and matter-of-factness will be the things I will keep in my heart and mind til I see him again. What I wouldn't give for one more of his sensational hugs. Love you Pappy forever and always.
Your granddaughter

my dad was important part of my life. he taught me so much. he taught me things a father should teach his son, such as how to cast a line, hammer a nail with one hit, how to drive a stick shift (still not very good at it... but i know how!) he was also a man of God and taught me the best things about God, such as how to love a person unconditionally, how to show compassion in even the most adverse of situations, and, like Christ, to be able to sacrifice willingly in order for others to be rewarded. the greatest thing about my dad is that he didn't just tell me these things. he showed me everyday. i love you, dad. you will be a part of me forever and i will always be grateful for you and happy that i am your son.
