The Day My Father Died by Carol Eliassen

I wrote this right after my Dad died when I was fifteen. I even turned it into my 9th grade English class as an assignment. There was a lot more to it but this is all I remember.

The day my Father died

I knew not what to do

It came and rained

The pain was vain

I knew the sadness too.

I looked upon his bed

And grew afraid to see his face

Or touch his hand as he did lay.

I loved this man you see

But I hid this love from thine beloved

I didn’t know how to show

Because I didn’t know he would go.

The Gospel in a Nutshell

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. What does that mean? I'm not a theology professor or preacher, but I know that the Lord lives and that he was crucfied for my sins. How awful it must have been for him. Yet, he did it. He sacificed himself for ME. Yes, for ME, and for YOU, if you accept him as your Lord and Savior, he will be with you always. How do I do what he wants? It is simple, I must tell everyone I meet. If they accept, great. If they don't, that is their choice. Why? Because they have free will. God gave it to us. I love him so much that my life is nothing without him. I love him. I need him. I know him. I will always worship him. He has saved me more than once in this life. I know he will save me for the afterlife. I am HIS. I want all my family, friends and even enemies to know him the way I know him. Will that happen? Maybe, maybe not, they have their...
