Welcome, I’m Libby
Thank you for visiting my blog. I live in Plano, Texas where my husband and I are very involved in being happy senior adults. You will find that my blog reflects our lives and activities as well as the goings-on of our two grown children and ten grandchildren. There may even be something the Lord leads me to compose and share. Needless to say, we stay busy and sharing our busyness with you makes me happy. I do hope you will stop by and share a cup of tea with me often.

Today's message from you strikes so close to home. My Dad was a pastor and evangelist. I treasure his written notes and sermons. But what I love so much is all the different things he would use to jot down notes anytime, any place. He kept all those little notes in a file and wrote a sermon from those. And he too, made the finished product fit inside his Bible. I also treasure his video tapes of him preaching that I have transferred to DVD. What a legacy I have to leave my grandchildren who were blessed to know him, but never heard him preach.
ReplyDeleteNancy, I have many of my dad's sermons on cassette tape and no way to play them back anymore. I would have to be able to preserve them however. Thank you for your visit today; it was so nice to meet you. I hope you will drop by my blog again. It is great to meet someone new with so much in common.
DeleteElizabeth, first of all, what a beautiful thing to have such a father. I loved my Dad, he was a good and faithful father, but he was not a committed believer until just before he passed away. And second of all, to be able to go back and read your father's notes like that! What a tremendous blessing. Couldn't you find a cassette player online somewhere? I still have a boom box and a Walkman that plays my old cassettes. If you lived nearby, I would loan it to you. Or, you could have the tapes transferred to cd.
ReplyDeleteYour last sentence is one well worth thinking about. I always wonder whether anyone will glance through any of my journals or just toss them away.
What a beautiful post, Elizabeth. Your father sounds like he was a wonderful man.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing. Enjoy your week.
Oh, what a treasure Libby. I have some of my Dad's typewritten sermons and notes and I have about 200 on a flashdrive. We are both blessed to have had such Godly parents. Happy week!
ReplyDeleteI love this! My Dad was not a Pastor - he was a farmer, but was also a godly, loving man (still is!), and this reminded me of him.
ReplyDeleteI would think there is a service somewhere that would put that cassette on CD!
Thank you for sharing this precious post at Inspire Me Monday at Create With Joy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a priceless treasure your father has left you!
I love how his time spent with the Lord not only was lived out every day of his life but also how God has honored their time together through this memento.
Have a very blessed weekend (and if you have not already done so, be sure to enter our Bible Journaling Giveaway for a chance to start recording and making memories to pass down to your children and grandchildren!) :-)
