From Our Family and Music Minister

Since my mid-20s, people have often mistaken me for being older than I really am. I’d like to think it’s due to my maturity, but it’s more likely my prematurely greying hair, something inherited from my father. As we approach Father’s Day, I look back on the many lessons and characteristics he passed down to me, including storytelling (mostly true), early greying hair, and a strong sense of patience.

One vivid memory of my dad involves all three of these traits. After a long drive to Tuscaloosa to visit family, we arrived at our hotel. Against my parents’ wishes, I’m sure I accompanied my dad to the check-in counter. As usual, I was distracted by all the stuff around me when, the next thing I knew, my dad was rushing me back to the car. It turns out the hotel clerk had innocently offered him a senior citizen discount and even suggested he could get a free adjoining room for his “grandchildren.” My dad, barely in his mid-30s, did not appreciate the offer or assumption. Usually, he was patient and good-humored, but that day, possibly worn down by hours in a car with my constant delightful conversation, his patience had reached its limit.

Despite humorous stories like these, what I’m most thankful for is the spiritual legacy my father left me. Beyond patience, storytelling, and even early grey hair, my father taught me about our Heavenly Father. He demonstrated God’s love, compassion, and faithfulness through his actions, words, and consistent presence in my life.

In Proverbs 22:6, we read, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.” My dad tried his best to model this scripture by encouraging my spiritual growth and leading me to the truths in God’s Word. He showed me that earthly fathers, though imperfect, are responsible for reflecting our Heavenly Father’s character and love to their children and others around them.

Perhaps one of the greatest demonstrations of his love and faith in me came when he saw my call to ministry before I did. Pursuing that call meant returning to school and not going into the family business, which I knew he was excited about. He supported me wholeheartedly, encouraging me every step of the way, even when it meant sacrifice. I know without a doubt that I am in ministry full-time because of him. The greatest inheritance a parent can leave a child is not money or success but an example of unwavering support to follow God’s calling on their lives.

I’m sure my dad would rather me share many other stories instead of one of him losing his patience for no reason. But we all know that the only perfect Father is our Heavenly Father. May we learn from their mistakes and continue to grow in our relationship with our Heavenly Father so we are a living example of what a Godly man or woman should be.

This Father’s Day, let’s celebrate and appreciate the memories and traits our fathers passed down to us. May we strive to follow in their footsteps, leaving a spiritual legacy for future generations.
