We believe John 3:16, so know that for every sunset in a Christian's life, there is a sunrise in the next life. The remnants of beauty in a broken world, are a foretaste of the reality of our next life. The presence of God in our heart, is the part of heaven that we have with us in this life. May you be encouraged to know that all things will be made new again someday.<br /><br />LadyBugLuv (DAS)LadyBugLuvnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-4676005504150960422010-06-22T02:03:46.071-05:002010-06-22T02:03:46.071-05:00Hi Rebecca,

We have yet another thing in common. I, too, and a preacher's daughter. And I did not always appreciate going without due to my daddy's calling. Yet I turned around and married a preacher. We are so blessed to have been raised by men who love the Lord and instilled in us the desire to do the same. We have wonderful examples of our Heavenly Father. My husband is doing the same thing for our daughters. And yes, we have done without often in our lives. But the blessings can not be denied.<br />Thank you for blessing me with your story of your Father.Goosegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10438233253491253506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-31420938343645754792010-06-20T16:33:29.128-05:002010-06-20T16:33:29.128-05:00Sniff, what a touching tribute to your dear daddy ...Sniff, what a touching tribute to your dear daddy and how sweet your DH is for comforting you.
