| Dear Family of the Daily CUP and FGGAM,
Always so blessed to serve anywhere! I was blessed to do the funeral service of a lovely lady yesterday, Mary Ellen Gammon. I got to meet her loving family and friends! Sharing time of how Mary touched lives was a blessing. The Love of Jesus touched all! Amen!
It is a blessing to serve.
Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, Ephesians 6:7
Please continue to pray for us as we travel to FBC in Reserve, NM on Sunday to put forth the message the Lord has put on my heart. Also please continue to pray as we prepare for the Windom Revival, Nov. 10th and 11th.
Make sure and catch the Windom Revival Radio program Sundays in the Worthington area on KWOA AM730 and 100.3 FM at 7am and on KDOM in the Windom area at 7:45am on 1580AM and 94.3 FM.
What a wonderful tribute John Brewer wrote about his Dad………PTL!
My Dad passed away yesterday. He was always bigger than life to us. He filled 87 years on this earth with wit, compassion, verve, and love. He will be missed, but I am certain that he is in the loving arms of our eternal Father.
Here is a piece I wrote a number of years ago to honor my Dad and to honor all fathers.
FATHER AND SON
My Dad was a living example
Of the way a man ought to be.
I hope one day my kids see
A little of my Dad in me.
I want to be a living example
Of the way we ought to live.
Just like my Dad before me,
I want to be a living example to my kids.
From my very first step
He’s always been there,
With a helping hand
Of compassion and care.
And if there’s anything
I could ever do,
Dad, I want to be like you!
You could wrap up my little feet
In one of your hands.
You used to call me
Your little man.
You told me there’s nothing in life
I couldn’t do.
Well, if that’s true,
Then, Dad, I want to be like you.
I’ve learned from you
The meaning of sacrifice;
To keep integrity of heart
No matter the price.
I’ve learned from you
To live an honest life.
It’s true,
Dad, I want to be like you.
When I see God’s love
In the things you do,
Dad, it just draws me closer to you.
I feel like I know
God in a deeper way.
It’s God as Father that I see
When you reveal His heart to me.
Dad, it’s true,
I long to be just like you
I know you’re not perfect in every way,
Yet you’re humble enough
To take me and say
You make mistakes.
You tell me you need Christ in your life,
And it’s as you follow Him
That you teach me what’s right.
It’s true,
Dad, I admire that honesty in you.
You’ve been a beautiful example to me
Of what a man of God ought to be.
I hope one day
That I can teach my son too,
Just like you.
Dad, I love you.
