My Dad has passed away

[Ringbill]

My prayers and sympathy for your loss. I lost my father last year and it has been hard but like you, impressed upon me the importance of living each day fully and loving those still here. Amen. Good hunting!

Thanks for sharing. Your father has earned his reward and congratulations to him because we know that those who live in Christ also die in Christ.  He has his reward now in his new home.

You were very lucky to have your father for many years, I was not that fortunate but the few years I had were precious and I learned a great deal.

Peace be with you.

Just now getting the time to be here on OG! there is NO way to say Thank You enough for all your prayers & Condolences; one can own/buy a lot of things in this world, BUT when a group of Men who love & share the same passion for Turkey Hunting, get together and pray for one that is facing difficult times, then there is simply no amount of money that can buy that kind of compassion; as I read through these post, I was reminded how Dad taught me that being concerned for others who are hurting was of up most importance; Dad spent his entire life caring for others and his knees were literally worn out b/c he spent so much time on them praying on behalf of those who were in need.

Thank you everyone again for your concern & prayers; to have my name lifted up in prayer to Almighty God is something that I do not take for granted; it is my hope & prayers that in some way I can return the favor for all here; Dad wouldn't want me to grieve too long as he told me many times in the past that this day would come; he was ready to meet God and I know beyond any doubt that he is having the best time of his life right now and he would definitely tell me if he could that there would be NO WAY he would want to come back.

I will miss him more than I could ever put in words but now it will be necessary for me to continue to live for God to the best of my ability; to continue to tell the good news of God's Amazing Grace through His Son Jesus until the day I cross over; AND when that Time comes for me, it will be only through that Grace that I will be rejoined with Dad where I can probably guess he is getting ready to go on a fishing trip that where the Crappie are spawning through out all eternity!............. .....
