When I was younger there was one man I was completely and utterly in awe of. I loved him with my whole heart, all of my cousins fought over to whom he belonged, and I don't think I ever once saw this man frown. Growing up if you had asked me, I swore I was going to marry my grandpa, "Poppa".
As you get older you realize how you saw things as a child and how things change. You learn the rights and wrongs and you get shown truth. I've been very fortunate to call one of the greatest men "Poppa" and so have all of my cousins. As I've grown up I've found him to be the most inspiring, strongest man in all the world and as I think about my past weekend and my experience at Encounter I think of my grandpa and how I see Jesus in him and how it's always been that way.
I've grown to realize that the love of my life is Jesus. It goes with the whole "Wedding in heaven" thing. It's true. I find it to be anyway and one thing that I think has always shown me the faith in my grandfather is the fact that if we would ask him how his day was he would simply state
"Any day that I open my eyes, put my feet on the floor, and the good Lord allows me to stand up is a good day."
He would tell that to anyone and I'm so greatful to have him as a part of my life. If you haven't met him, you definately should.
