This next week marks the end of a era.
My amazing parents have served at the local Family History Center/Library for many years. I think it’s been about 18 years.
My awesome Dad is being released as the Director after serving in that position for 14 years. This is a position with out pay, a calling, and pretty much “Full time” hours.
They are an example to me, that you always have something to contribute, something to share that blesses other people. You don’t really retire, you just start up a new career somewhere else. Only this one doesn’t pay with income.
It pays with blessings.
They love the Lord, and others, and desire to help others, then because of their selfless service, the Lord blesses them. One of the things they have been blessed with is good health. They are both in their 80’s and you would be amazed what they accomplish in a day. Father in Heaven has sustained them as they serve. We have all been blessed with a very close family. We love each other so much, and get together frequently as an extended family. They have always had their needs met financially. They are very frugal and have a humble income, but if you asked my dad how it is, he’d say, “They live like Kings!”
They truly are a blessing to all who know them!
Thanks Mama and Daddy
for being the awesome parents and examples that you are!
