And then there's THAT

"That" being Daddy's suit. The one he used while he lived with us. The pants are worn out. But the jacket is impeccable.  Putting on the coat was just too difficult unless the occasion was special. Like his brother's funeral. Sigh.

I poke through the pockets one last time.  A mended rip, slightly frayed hems, dry cleaner's tags. He will want me to "put my hand to the plow and not look back."

As I send it to my sister, may she remember him as being steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.

Amen.
