TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVING PARENTS God has poured so many undeserved blessings into our lives, and one of the greatest of His blessings has been you, our wonderful parents! You have given us a tremendous heritage of godliness to follow. My earliest memories are of church nurseries (and how I learned to stay there without crying) and sitting on the front row.In our family, you taught us that Jesus was the head of our home and that everything we did was to please Him. There was never a question whether or not we would go to church – we were there every time the doors were open and were involved in everything there was to offer . . . and we loved it! Thank you for showing me the joy of serving Jesus and for leading me to Him at an early age! Today, my family and I literally “live” on church parking lots and are ministering in churches nearly every night . . . and love it! Daddy, I have learned so much from your life . . . contentment, faithfulness, integrity, forgiveness, gentleness. You have always worked hard, yet you never let it interfere with your family priorities. You were there at every concert, ball game, parade, or play your girls were involved in. You led us spiritually and taught us to find God’s will in every area, then you had the faith to let go and let us follow Him wherever His path took us. I have seen you treated wrongly at times, yet never have I seen you retaliate or become bitter or resentful. You have Mom, I don’t know anyone who has more of a servant’s heart than you. No matter how hard you have worked or how tired you are, you are constantly looking for ways to serve others first. You have a genuine love for people and are always concerned about finding out their spiritual condition. Thank you for teaching me to cook, clean, sew, be thrifty, run a household, be hospitable, and raise a family with a heart for God. You have shown me how to be a servant to others, just as Jesus was! Thank you both for allowing the Lord to direct your lives and for following His leadership and instructions for our home. My life and the lives of your grandchildren will benefit for years to come because of your example of godliness. I love you and I praise God for you daily! treat your parent with loving care for u will only know their value when u see their empty chair or bed “…The voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude; all that I am or ever hope to be, I owe it all to Thee! TO GOD BE THE GLORY! !
