Losing a Parent

You are my lamp, O LORD; the LORD turns my darkness into light. 2 Sam 22:29 Losing a Parent his hard, I recently lost my Father. Our first memories are often of our parents as they are the ones to nurture us. Parents have an awesome responsibility and it's not an easy task either. Learning to raise children is a learning curve as all children are different. I have six children and really respect my parents as I know what they went through for me and my sisters. Because Dad always was there to provide for us we as small kids probably took things for granted. I didn't realize how hard my parents had to struggle to ensure we were taken care of and wanted for nothing. I have a strong connection with my children and I want to create memories for them as one day I won't be walking this earth anymore. Losing my dad was hard as it sets in that I will never be able to see him again. I pray that he is in Heaven and one day we will be reunited. Everyone who believes that Jesus … is born of God, & everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 1 Jn 5:1 Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen!" Rev 7:12
