Treasured friend,
Today, I want to share my father's favorite Scripture, his life verse. For him, this promise was a rock to build his life upon. I had an up-close seat to watch as he faced countless obstacles with grace, trust in the Lord, and peace. His example, and this uplifting passage, and still speak to me, even though Daddy has been in heaven for more than 10 years. I hope they have Father's Day in heaven -- and that somehow the Lord shows my dad how much I love and miss him--and how hard I try to follow his footsteps of faith, trust, and perfect peace.
He loved the song lyrics by Vivian Amsler Kretz based on this verse:
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace
Whose mind is stayed on Thee
When the shadows come and darkness falls
He giveth inward peace
O He is the only perfect resting place
He giveth perfect peace
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace
Whose mind is stayed on Thee
