More from Dad's Letter

"My dear child, you have the opportunity to blossom into a magnificent instrument of the Lord. Do not compromise on the principles you have been taught from childhood. Although family and studies and life and living each have their importance, put God first in all things and hold forth the name of our Lord. . . . Remember what you have been taught. Remember me in your prayers. Do the best that you can in your studies and enjoy the circumstances that the Lord has provided for you."

Jacquelyn,

These are such a treasure and I am so glad you still have them to share.

Reading this one reminded me of one of Paul's letters in the Bible. He must have been a very wise father.

Love
Jenn
