As Jesus promised, he sent his helper the Holy Spirit. Today its all about that.
I remember when I met Paps for the first time the day of our wedding. He flew in right after a surgery just to be there and officiate the wedding. When we came to the place in the ceremony to say I do, he had me say I do to every single point, which brought a smile on my face. He wanted to make sure I do J . When we went to visit him in Jamaica a few years later I got to spend lots of quality time with him. Everytime we would sit together
and talk about God I felt the love of Jesus so strong through him like never before and my eyes got often teary. I felt through him how Jesus believed in me. During that trip we traveled around the island and I saw how he stopped at small seemingly insignificant places and encouraged people and checked up on them how they are doing. Each one he visited felt so loved. He did the same with the ones who the world things are significant, like a banker we visited. One day we went to the beach and his heart of the evangelist stirred up and next thing I see 3 ladies turn their life around and follow Jesus. One of them got baptized in the next church service. He didn’t care about titles or achievements he had, and there were too many to count, he always cared about the person right in front of him and wanted to bring them a step closer to Jesus. Since I was baptized as a baby Jen and I made the decision to be baptized as adults and Pap officiated that too. I also was so inspired by how he studies and knew his bible and I made a decision right there and then to just read the bible and nothing else for a few years. He also gave us a greater heart for prayer. He told us how he would spend many hours in prayer before he would share at one of the really big events. He always wanted to make sure to have that deep connection with the father. I also remember how he prayed for Jen so we would be able to conceive, even so it seemed impossible, but God listened to his beloved son and now we have Caleb. On our last visit he prayed over Caleb and dedicated him. This was the last time we saw Paps in person.
Spending time with Paps inspired me even more to live my life more like Jesus and share the good news with others and love them well. To love the person right in front of me. l Like I said our heats are sad since we can’t just call him anymore or see him for a visit, but he is rejoicing with the One he loved the most. Thank you God for giving us the gift of Paps for the time we had him. Pap we love you and we will see you again when we arrive in heaven when its our time
