In this situation, all the lessons presented by the journey of life are seemingly left to be navigated alone by these young people. In the middle of this most tragic reality for our family, you rose up with grace, class and wisdom as you laid out for your five children exactly the way our home was going to be run from that point forward. You explained how in the ideal family there is God, the dad and the mom and then all the kids. You shared that when dad stepped out of that role of physically being in our home, you would continue to be only mom and that we now had a completely perfect father that would never let us down. You ingrained in all of us the truth that as long as we remained obedient to Him (so many, many, many...MANY times His voice sounded like you) we would remain under the safety of His grace and we would be blessed. You made sure we knew the importance of having a "dad" over us. As a result, we were fathered by the greatest and most perfect dad anyone could ask for. Thank you for instilling in us the truth that we needed a dad in our lives; that we needed godly men who would serve as an example of what it meant to serve God first in our lives so we could emulate their behavior. Thank you for not trying to do it all! By pointing us to God you taught us everything! For the first time in so many years, Father's Day was a very joyous day for me. I love you and I'm so thankful for you! Your wisdom is for the ages and will make you a legend people of which many generations will speak!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12313297286106501378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4441248921915010757.post-87539695828993967832017-06-18T21:57:24.046-07:002017-06-18T21:57:24.046-07:00Beautifully said!Beautifully said!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13112281466137633963noreply@blogger.com
