He Was My Angel

“He was my angel!” said the elderly widow when she discovered who my father was.

She explained that after her husband died my father helped with home repairs and paid some of her bills. I'd never heard her story, but I wasn't surprised. 

My father was always helping others despite his 25-year struggle with Parkinson's Disease. And he often did things behind the scenes, not looking for the praise of men (Matthew 6:1-2).

He passed away over 15 years ago, but his legacy lives on.

“The righteous man walks in his integrity; blessed (happy, fortunate, enviable) are his children after him.” Proverbs 20:7, AMP

I am blessed, happy, fortunate, and enviable to have had such a father.  

I share this as a reminder to myself and to my readers that how we use our lives matters.

"For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10
