Hey I know. It is the day after Father’s day and anything sappy or noteworthy about fathers should have gone out at least by Yesterday. But here is mine. Live with it ‘cause I mean it.
Yesterday morning I shared in my message to The Orchard church about how I believe God gave my dad back to me in early 1980’s. It was just before his birthday in May of that year that we were all at a softball game (dad loved to get thrown out those games…HA, HA) when he had a massive heart attack. That event changed my dad, my family and my reality of God.
What do I mean? Thanks for asking. Things changed because we stopped living life in one direction and began to be led by God. It is evident. I can see it more now than ever before. My dad has wisdom coming at me so often, and I am grateful. In fact, he is even reading some of the same stuff I read. That sends this son to the moon.
I want to thank God for giving me a dad who is mentor and friend. He is much more now than I thought possible.
Thank you, Richard Harrison, for choosing to step into my life. First God chose you, and then you chose and continue to choose to step. Keep on, dad. I need you as a mentor, friend, wise man and so much more. I appreciate you much and love you dearly!
-- MICHAEL
