The Image of A Father's Love

 Tonight I was able to celebrate a life of someone who is so dear to me! I call Him Papa Dean! I don't think I've ever told him in person but  to me that's who he is! And as I was sitting there with many emotions I was able to recall the many times Dean has said to me just who and where you are! That's really how my Heavenly Father is! He welcomes us!
Dean has and is definitely one of those loving spirit in my life! From the time I was a Freshmen, He would encourage me ! I mean even before I entered campus I sensed a welcoming spirit because I remember meeting him at my home church. I can't remember all details but I remember shaking hands!I can't thank God more or less for placing Papa Dean in my life! He has been the image of a father I wish I had growing up. I especially remember it because I could know and do know rather my day is good or bad I am welcomed!
I don't know  how else to say it other then the Father will put people in your life to walk beside you in healing! So ,  I look and say thank you Abba for sending Dean my way and not letting me leave UC!
Thanks Papa Dean!
