Sometimes I forget that there are actually incredible men who filled their God-given role as a father with honor…. I thank God that my son has one of them!

I think my three are all related to fear; fear of heights, falling and being different. Strange how those early experiences can impact us.

Your dad sounds very wise. You’re very fortunate to have him; cherish him.

Thanks so much for allowing your readers another glimpse of your roots. I am a man with no “inlaw” stories to tell; at least no bad stories. You and your father share the gift of being able to draw people out and get us to move beyond the surface of conversation. Not everyone is comfortable with such insightful company, but you and your dad are quite a pair.

Thanks, Chuck, for all that you (and Jane) have imparted to the woman who is my wife and to our children.

One of my earliest childhood memories is of being in the crib at my first home. I remember visions of my room through the “bars” of the crib, knowing my mother was in close by. What a blessing it has been to have lived a life secure in knowing that I have been loved from the very first.

Not all of our memories will be good ones, but thank you for sending me back to a place I have not visited in a very long time.

Love,
Billy

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 04:13:00 +0000 http://www.peaceforthejourney.com/early-memories-lingering-lessons/#comment-2135 I believe that the relationship we have with our earthly father greatly influences our relationship with our Heavenly Father. Elaine, your faith and love for the Lord, your eloquence with speaking and writing, and the stories YOU share are a direct result of your dad. What an amazing man of God!

I praise God for the relationship I have with my own father. I will always be “Daddy’s Girl.”

P.S. Please read my blog posted this evening (Sunday, Nov. 2) and keep my aunt in your prayers. Thank you.

There are many of us that did not and life was so hard to figure out……. I was always looking for someone to say those things to me…….. took me down some very very terrible roads…… words…… they can give life or they can postpone life until Jesus walks in………

Beautiful post girl……..

I wonder how different my life would have been if my father had been a godly man…
