Listening to: "Loss For Words" By: Tait
Feeling: alright
Hey! Well it's Sunday. The weekend has FLOOOWN by, but that's ok b/c it's been awesome and also I have tomorrow off! So this mornign I got up and got ready to go to church. I went to Daddy's church (Dante Church of God) in Powell. They were having their memorial service and Daddy was one of the ones honored. Me, Jimmy, Sherry, and Mary were there for him. Jimmy got upset during it though and him & Sherry left. But I stayed and listened to teh sermon which was EXTREMELY good! Im not kidding you I sat there and cried the ENTIRE service which lasted from 10:30-12:00. I got there and immediately started cryign b/c they honored Daddy, and then I started crying thinking about the last time I was there, he was alive and I was with him and that made me sad. But then the sermon was SOOO good...it convicted me & blessed me both. But it touched me so emotionally & spiritually that I sat there the whole entire hour he preached with tears streaming down my face. It wasn't like I cried here & there throughout...I was pouring tears out every second of it. I so needed it though!!! After he dismissed and everyone was leaving the sanctuary I still sat there & cried for another 5-10 minutes on the pew. Mary hugged me and tried to comfort me saying that Daddy was in Heaven and was very happy and that he would want me to be and stuff..which is true..but it wasn't all Daddy the reason I was crying. I mean it certainly provoked it, but towards the end it was a mix of that with the conviction that the sermon had given me. Anyways, after church I met Paula, her mom, her grandma, and Truman at "Linda's" diner on Beaumont. Pam bought my lunch and then me & Paula went to Norris Lake/Dam to visit Dina, Jess, Nicholas & Tanner who were camping out and have been all weekend. So we sat up there around the fire w/them for about 3 hours talking and roasting marshmallows. I was so tired and my head hurt from crying so much that we finally left. By then it was like 5:00 so we ate Sonic and went to Fountain City Park and played, took pictures, walked, and got on the swings & talked. After that we went back to her house and played 2 games of "SORRY!", I cannot believe she won twice! Grrr...I'm losin it~ lol. I left her house at 9 and came home and now Im sittin here. Sara, Ashlee, and Andrea are over here & at the pool..I kinda wanted to go with them..but it's closing soon so I just decided not to. Welp Im gonna go work on my webpage or something!
A poem I found that made me think of Daddy:
God looked around his Garden
and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth
and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful,
he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never
get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult,
he closed your tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine"
and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping
so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth
to suffer once again.
You've left us precious memories,
your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children,
you're always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
on the day God called you home.
