A Father of Example - My Gift from God

This week marks the 8th anniversary of when my Dad died. He suffered bravely through pancreatic cancer and went home to be with the Lord on July 26, 2003. This one's for you Dad. I love you.

Micah 6:8 "He has told you, O man, what is good and what the does the Lord require of you but to do justice and to have kindness and to walk humbly with your God."

This was my Dad's favorite verse. I didn't know it until he passed away and we were making funeral arrangements. As I reflected on my Dad's life - he really did live out this verse and lived a simple life that pleased God. My Dad's greatest pursuit was to know God and His Word and to live his life to please Him. It wasn't a pursuit of personal greatness, wasn't a pursuit of wealth, it was truly a day to day pursuit of God. Seeing himself in light of God's greatness, realizing his need of a Savior, being grateful for God's love and work in his life, and working to live his life as an example to others.

Thank you God for my earthly father, Donald William Cross - I will be forever grateful...
