• Jan. 4, 2008 - My Father-in-law

Today is the 16th anniversary of when my wonderful father-in-law went home to be with the Lord.. He was such a Godly man, he loved the Lord so much and taught his children to walk with Him. He also taught me a lot about being generous and giving to others without expecting anything in return. I can honestly say he was one of the most generous men I have ever known. There was a huge gap when He was called home and continues to be. My dh still mentions that he wonders what counsel his dad would give in certain situations. We can confidently say that if we go to God's Word we will know what his advice would be. What a precious gift he gave us and his grandchildren as he knew he was dying of cancer and was able to say good-bye to everyone. He just kept telling us to keep our eyes on Jesus. We were blessed to be there as the angels came to take him to glory. His 3 sons sang hymns to him all night.  Early in the morning, the lamp on the side of the room kept going on, then brighter, then brighter, then off. It was one of those touch lamps but no one was near it. We believe it was the angels that came to get him. It was a beautiful time. My mother-in-law said shortly after that now she was a widow, and my dh said well its much better than being an old maid! It was a nice let off of emotion as we all laughed. Here is a picture of him. Thank you Lord for this Godly man and the heritage he left to us. I love you, Dad.
