So....today is exciting....except, not totally.
Two years ago today, Daddy died. And that takes a good bit of the excitement out of the day.
But God....reminds me of the 89 years I had with a father who loved me, never raised his voice and was known "about town" as a quiet and gentle man, noted for his integrity.
Both of us with a head full of dark hair. I don't remember the picture--but I so-o-o remember Daddy! |
Much like King David, Daddy "walked with integrity of heart and uprightness..." (1 Kings 9:4)
Praises that the Lord was Daddy's shield in WWII and through many years of good health as he "worked" until he was 88. Proverbs 2:8 says, "He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints."
