My dad is a very unique man.  I don't think there is anybody even close to being like him.  He not only loves the Lord, but he has such a heart to serve Him.

Everywhere he goes, his desire is to tell others about Jesus.  He passes out tracts in parking lots, on people's doors.  He even has a prison ministry.  He also goes to an abortion clinic on Saturday mornings to encourage mothers not to abort their babies and give them the gospel.

He is such an encouragement to me and a good example of what kind of Christian I should be.

On Monday evenings, all of his teenage grandsons are invited to his home for dinner, an evening of passing out tracts, watching a goofy video, and conversing about life's issues.

So, have I proven my case?  He's definitely unique, and he's a great dad and grandfather.

I Love You, Dad!   :)

It is always good to hear about Followers of Christ doing what they are called to do. I have a Dad like that , as well. I sometimes forget the impression my Dad has put on my life.

I bet he gets his uniqueness from the most Unique Father in existence since time began.  What an honor to be able to share a little of both of them with us.  Good post and even great way to honor our Father.

Debi ~

What a beautiful post in honor of your father who in my opinion is what I strive to be like. He is a shining example of what a true Christian soldier should be. Tell him for me Happy Father's Day and God Bless him.
