Remembering a great Dad on Father's Day

Paul Milton Witmer, my Dad, grew up on a farm. After he married, he became a farmer too. He also had a heart that longed after God. When I was very young, he was ordained to the ministry in the Mennonite church. I loved hearing him preach! He sold the farm in the 60's and worked as an auto mechanic and a preacher.

We never had much in the way of material things. But one thing for sure, I never doubted that I was loved.....ever!

Daddy has been enjoying heaven since Oct. 1, 2009. I miss him. But, what wonderful memories he has left with us!

Treasures are not always things. Today I hold in my heart many treasures.....my memories.
