This is my dad 
He spoke at my sisters graduation on wednesday giving the gr. 12 students 1 solid piece of advice as they became official graduates. Quoting from Matthew 25:23 where Jesus says “well done good and faithful servant”. My dad told the graduates that at the end of their life these are the words they should be hoping to hear. With only two steps for that to be possible:
1) Make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life
2) Repeat step one tomorrow
Simple, but not easy
My dad has always taught me the importance of hard work and complete devotion to God.
He has said to me on more than one occasion “Son I don’t want you to look back years from now and be able to say ‘Dad why didn’t you encourage me or push me more”
Dad you never fail to encourage me on to everything that God has set before me.
But much more than your words could ever do, your actions of pursing Christ provide that great example by which I hope to follow.
As I study in the month of July to take my MCATs I am continually reminded of two things by my dad
1) The need to be in God’s word before any studying starts
2) To study hard!
Both of these things show my dad’s love for me as he genuinely encourages me and still pulls me away from the studying to play a round of golf
Dad thanks so much for your prayer and love for me
As God has called you to be faithful over much you have shown me a great example of trusting in God with everything I have
Love you
