godly men

We had a deacon ordination service at church last night and it brought back some sweet memories from my dad's deacon ordination service and Mark's ordination service. I'm not sure why the Lord blessed me with two of the most humble men to have in my life, but I am so thankful He chose to do so. My dad was a great spiritual leader in our home. Sure he made mistakes, but he was always open and honest and allowed me to see that no one was perfect. He taught me about a holy God who loved me and gave His life up for me. He took me to church and prayed with me and over me. He loved my mom. He was kind to strangers. He was compassionate. He was passionate about sharing his heart with people and telling them about how Christ had changed his life. He was all of those things and he still is! I'm so thankful I had that example set before me. And now, as I start my own family I am blessed to have another great spiritual leader. Mark is an awesome man! I find myself everyday questioning why in the world he ever chose me. He is a man after God's own heart and I strive to be just like that. He leads me, prays with me, and he loves me. I love everything about him. I am beyond blessed with two humble men in my life and I pray that I never ever ever take them for granted!
