To my Father . . .

[KaiafromBergen]

To my Father . . .

To my Father, who was the Leader of our family,

Who loved the Lord Jesus Christ and lead by example,

Who loved his wife, my mother, until she when HOME in 2004, and was an example of what a husband should be,

Who loved justice so much he felt lead to become a Deputy Sheriff,

Who touched the lives of every member of the public he talked to,

Who put his life on the line to keep others safe,

Who dealt with the worst parts of humanity, suicide, murder, domestic violence,

Who came home and taught us lessons he learned from each of these experiences,

Who shared his faith in Jesus Christ with all who asked, “how can you handle everything you see and deal with?”

Who loved the Lord’s Return, and was actively reading and studying end time prophecy (his love for this was ignited by reading Lindsey’s book Late Great Planet Earth, when it was first published.)

Who, when after having a triple bypass, (after developing complications of which he should have died from,) was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis (a “death sentence” within five years of diagnosis) continued to share Jesus, for the next two years, with everyone he came in contact with . . . even three hours before he went HOME on May 23, 2012.

Who is now in the Presence of the Lord . . . My dad is experiencing the Ultimate “Father’s Day!!!!”

I miss you dad, I will see you soon!

Love, your daughter, Sharon

A Lost Promise

© Jacqueline Uvalle

I am not the way I used to be
I am stronger and wiser as you can see;
Remember my words, my father said
As he cradled me up and laid me to bed;
You will someday be a lady with a life of your own
With someone to love you as I have shown;
I will always be here to lend a hand
To help you and guide you when you don't understand;
Somehow I believed his words I'd see
He was not the father he promised to be;
Instead he was a man that did not care
My mother was my father because he was never there;
I often cry myself to sleep
My fathers love was not mine to keep;
I miss my father I won't lie
Not a single hug or one last goodbye;
He is now a man free to roam
Not worrying of his family or coming home;
He walked out of my life and never turned my way
Oh why daddy why didn't you stay?

Simply beautiful!!!

Sharon, may the Lord lift you and your family up and give you all peace. I hope your Dad can somehow see your lovely tribute (maybe via heavenly messenger?). I'm sure he would be very touched!

May all those with godly, loving fathers realize, like Sharon, what a blessing godly fathers are.

For all those who were not so blessed, may your father quickly choose a close walk with the Lord and may your relationship with your father be healed. Where that is not possible, may the Lord heal your heart and may you find comfort in His word. (e.g., Ps 27:10 Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.)

And may you all strongly feel the loving presence of our Heavenly Father in your lives.

Sharing tributes to our Dads is a great idea, Sharon. My Dad went home--what I like to think of as graduating from this "boarding school" earth--in 2007. I sooo look forward to seeing him again!

Dad Went Home Not Long Ago
by T. Lily

Dad went home not long ago,
My heart is hurting so,
I know I’ll see him once again,
Just when I do not know.

Signs say the trump will soon sound out,
In clouds Christ will arrive.
The dead in Christ will be caught up,
Along with those alive.

Look up, prepare, the time is near,
It’s even at the door.
The signs are all around us now,
We seek that beautiful shore.

Jesus is our bridge to God,
The one and only way.
Are you ready? Did you choose?
If not, please don’t delay.

Spread the word, the stakes are high.
Together let’s rejoice…..
.....In Heaven, not Hell, God’s gift is free!
Forever is the choice.

Dad went home not long ago,
But death was just a portal.
He’s alive in paradise,
Strong…..happy…..and immortal!
