Remember My Dad
This day will be a description of my Dad
and what he has taught me. The focus is to realize our parent(s) strengths, and
discard their weaknesses. Boys need to learn to be men and fathers are a major
part of that, second only to God.
Remember
My Dad
“Diligence…Integrity…Don’t give up,
son…Stick to what you committed to first do…honor… America is blessed, don’t
forget it…commitment…follow God” – these are the things that my Dad has taught
me.
I realized tonight, June 27th,
2010, the day after my sixteenth birthday; that I only achieved my Gold Medal
of Achievement (equivalent to an Eagle Scout) because of what my Heavenly
Father and earthly Father have taught me. DETERMINATION, INTEGRITY, and
PERSERVERANCE (even though it is a struggle many times to do so). My father’s
example taught me, prepared me, encouraged me, cheered me on, and pulled me
through. My Dad supports me even when I mess up. He reflects Christ in many
ways.
Dad … I love you! I thank you for
praying for my future wife with me & telling me that you are proud of me
just because I am your son. Thanks for telling me that even though I have
accomplished a lot in my sixteen years that you are proud of me, even if I
hadn’t accomplished all those things. Dad, thanks for putting up with my
youthful vigor and excitement (at times). Dad, thanks for letting me learn from
other men to: Mr. Wassall, Mr. Newfield, Mr. Wenneker, Mr. Schnable, Mr.
Williams, Mr. Sherrill, etc… Dad, without you allowing me to grow and learn
from these and still other men, in addition to what I have learned from you, I
wouldn’t be the person that I am today. Surely God has blessed me with a Dad
like you. HE knew that you’re the Dad for me!
