In just a few weeks, it will be 3 years since Dad left us. There is not a day goes by that I do not miss him immensely. Dad was a Christian man who was strong, humble, sweet. loving, devoted … I could go on and on until I no longer had words to describe this special man. There are so many reasons I miss him, but I think the one thing I miss most are my morning conversations with him.
When I was younger and in school, Dad worked a lot to be sure he provided for our family's needs and most of our wants. We did not have as much time together as I would have liked but he would always find some time for the two of us to do something together. I will always remember the first Atlanta Braves game he took me to. I remember yelling at Rico Carty since we were sitting in the left field seats. I remember him taking me to my first Atlanta Falcons game. We didn't get to go to many games then so I loved later in my life when I was able to take him to see the Braves and the Falcons. I loved the times Dad and I spent together.
I stopped playing golf in my early 30's. I always felt safe saying the only way I would start playing again was if Dad started playing. Well to my surprise when Dad was in his late 60's, he started playing. Well, I bought new clubs and every time I went to Montgomery, Dad and I would play. It wasn't the golf, but it was the time we spent together. Dad was my confidant, I could always seek his advice and counsel. He was my friend who I just loved to talk with. I loved my Dad!
I love my Heavenly Father also! Isn't it amazing, He is always available to listen. He knows us by name, He knows our heart and He knows our thoughts. It doesn't matter if I'm sitting in my chair, or laying in bed. It doesn't matter if I'm riding in the car or sitting in the doctor's office waiting (this seems to happen a lot LOL). It simply doesn't matter, any time, any place, day or night, we can have a conversation with our Heavenly Father. So many times, we go to Him in time of need but what a joy and comfort just to have a conversation with Him and thank Him for all He has done for us.
I love "I Just Came To Talk With You Lord" and its sweet message. You probably get tired of me saying this, but this is another one of those songs I have not heard or thought of in years.
I woke up hearing the writer of this song, Dottie Rambo and The Rambos singing it but I remembered a sweet version of Sheri Easter singing it so I'm going to post the link to both.
I hope you will enjoy listening!
