When he was "home" he lived with my dad's family, consisting of 10 children and his mom & dad. 13 PEOPLE in a small frame house in MS!Cele LeBlanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12379100430831345608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689804938550827918.post-78810618509978580082015-03-19T19:29:44.488-05:002015-03-19T19:29:44.488-05:00Thanks for linking up!

I think what stood out to me was these words..."And he never lost sight of that calling even though he had opportunities to do what some called "more worthwhile" things." So grateful for people who are faithful to their calling for that is truly the most worthwhile thing. So grateful for this reminder today. I think this was my 1st time visiting your blog, so it is nice to "meet" you :)Blessings! jviola79https://www.blogger.com/profile/01984136484419462463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689804938550827918.post-4534348466920123272015-03-19T08:58:56.145-05:002015-03-19T08:58:56.145-05:00Hi Elizabeth,

What a treasure to have your dad's letters and I love that you shared his words and your photos with us! His words are priceless and it demonstrates quite a bit of forward thinking to share the details of his days with you so you'd have it to share with future generations.

Thanks for sharing something so personal. Your dad knew what he had been called to do and he did not let the voice of others change his course. <br />That's a great legacy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519698579939897187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689804938550827918.post-53399563783386711562015-03-19T07:48:32.185-05:002015-03-19T07:48:32.185-05:00I'm sure this evoked all kinds of sweet memori...I'm sure this evoked all kinds of sweet memories of your Dad. I know that the times I saw him he was such a towering individual. I have containers of wonderful treasures from my parents as well and have not nearly gone through all of it but I do hope to once we move and settle in. Dad gave me all of he and Momma's "love letters" that they wrote while he was in the Navy. I'm sure once I get started on those I will not want to stop until I have read them all.

I can't imagine having the thoughts of my Daddy forever saved in letter, what a gift that would be. <br />A Godly heritage is hard to come by these days, you're blessed for sure!Tori Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859488167015452608noreply@blogger.com
