In His Shoes

In His Shoes

One of the most important people in the whole world is Dad.

I would like to think that this title carries with it the responsibility of knowing

that those who follow will surely mimic who you are and what you do. Be careful

Dad someone very important is watching you.

Blessings

I painted this over a year ago of my Daddy. This was our first

Christmas without him. I had received a new daily planner as a

gift from my daughter and was transfering the addresses from my old one

when I realized that I had written my Dad's name. I sobbed and then remembered

how much I loved him and how much he loved me. I still miss him, I always will.

We had such a great Christmas. I am blessed and remember once again as I reflect

on my life and our family. God is truly good to me.

The Other Side of The Rainbow

The Other Side of The Rainbow

Yesterday 6/28/2010 at 5:30 pm my dad made the journey to the other side of the rainbow.

James Elisher Johnson  10/26/1923-6/28/2010

We are sad yet we did not want him to linger in suffering or pain.

These,  the colors of the rainbow in his blessed long life are as follows,

Red because red was his favorite color,

Orange because the colors of the sunset over the muddy river was beautiful to him,

Yellow because sunflowers are yellow and this represents all 4 of his sunny children,

Green is for the grass that was rich and green on the banks of the river, 

Blue is for the color of his eyes so bright and mischievous,

Indigo is for the deep richness of his love for my beautiful mother in their 68 years together,

Violet is for the place he is now , a place of peace and contentment on
