On Saturday I went to a memorial service for a wonderful man of God, whose life, was to be celebrated. I actually did not know him well at all, but I know his daughter, Melinda, who I believe is such a spiritual giant in this world! Who she is – is someone who leaves you wanting more of God when you part ways. That is someone I long to be!There were so many parts of her dad’s life that were so beautiful I found myself fighting tears for such a beautiful person who walked this earth right up into heavens gates. The part that inspired me the most was how he was as a dad. He loved his family and children so much. He taught them to love Jesus and know His word. To see his grown children there and so in love with Jesus, serving Him wholeheartedly in ministry was such a testament of his faith! I want to be a mom and with my husband, parents who will instill God’s love, grace, compassion and knowledge of Him. I want to be a mom who guides her children gently to God by who I am and how I live my life. That is my prayer today inspired by a brilliant, simple man who loved God enough to REALLY serve Him with his life, not just in public ministry, but at home!

;-) Great post Rheada and I couldn't agree more.
I echo your prayer and only hope that my love and service to my family reflect my love for my God so much so it inspires them to yearn to serve Him as well.
On another note....it was wonderful to see. Motherhood suits you...you absolutely glow when talking about your kids :-)
Praying you and Jessie find what you need in community to and worship. Take care and I'll talk to you more inthe blog world :-)
It is awesome how we all attended the memorial and took a small piece from the life Roy that was presented to apply to our own lives! It was great to see you. Kim
Hi Rheada. I'm assuming the memorial service you went to was the one for Roy Reiswig. I really wanted to go to it, but we couldn't get around early enough that day to make it to Phoenix for the service. Do you realize what a small world it is? Roy & Georgia were the youth ministers at our church in Dewey, Oklahoma where my dad (Jesse's grandpa) was the minister in the late 60's/early 70's. He was a wonderful man!
Hi Rheada! I'm so glad you were able to go to Roy's memorial service. I am sure it was such a blessed support to Melinda & family ...
