Recently I was able to make a trek to Worthington, KY to
visit my padre. My visits seem to come
every other year, but would prefer every year, alas scheduling is always
difficult. This visit did not
disappoint. The usual: dad speaking to
me on the subjects of tomato raising, lawn care, music, pastoring, preaching,
Bible study, and Bible trivia. We did
manage to watch one movie, but mostly we talked…well he talked, I listened. Still it was a great visit that brought
laughter and smiles. A treat for me was
to preach at church on Sunday morning at Wurtland Missionary Baptist Church. Dad and Hazel are faithful members there, and
it’s good to see them still actively serving in the church.
Even though Hazel was not her usual vibrant self, due to
back pain, she was still a gracious hostess.
It’s always good to visit the ones you love. Most thankful for the times we share through
visits, phone calls, or emails. Time
spent wisely is always a good thing. Since dad's health is declining, this visit was even more meaningful.
Dad playing piano before church started. Love to hear him play.
