I MADE MY DADDY HAPPY

AND MAMA TOO.

When I was very young, on the way home from church I shared the Bible verse I learned in Sunday School, “We love Him because He first loved us.”

When I was in my 20’s, teaching fourth graders in a Christian school 1500 miles away, I heard my dad say numerous times on the phone, “I’m so glad you’re telling those little lambs about Jesus.”

Someday I’ll sing with Mom and Dad,

“I love you, Lord, and I lift my voice

.       To worship You.  Oh my soul, rejoice.

Take joy, my King [My Heavenly Daddy], in what you hear;

.       May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear.”
