What experiences in life helped you grow the most?
I know it sounds harsh, but for my experience and over time, I come to realise their passing, although sad, helped to bring me into a closer relationship with God.
They lived great lives and died of natural causes. If they died tragically, I don’t think I could write this.
I remember Mom, after a hard day at work, fall on her knees at her bedside, giving the Lord thanks for seeing her through the day. Forever , she was grateful to the Lord.
Dad would be up all night sitting in his rocking chair with his glasses perched on his nose, pouring over the scriptures, learning more about the Lord. Always enjoying the Lord and His word.
I saw this throughout my life and never really paid much attention, but now as I grow older I think back. They were my go-to sources for advice, but now they are gone I rely on the Lord. I am forging a relationship with my Lord like they did.
If they were still here, I would be leaning on them not on the Lord.
I love them and miss them like no one’s business, but I am forever grateful for the lessons they taught me and their fine examples of life.
