My grandfather passed away this past week at 86 and he meant a lot to me. He was:
a grandfather,
a great-grandfather,
and the best man I've ever known.
1 Corinthians 13: 4-5 "Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up; doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth."
If I were to sum up my grandfather, I would replace "charity" with his name.
He was my best example of what it means to be Christ-like. I named my son after him, and only hope Rhett James (RJ) can live up to his name and honor the man who first made it great. Grandpa lived a good life and as much as I will miss him, I feel peace.
Not much of a tribute, but he's been consuming the majority of my thoughts these last two weeks.
That was a fantastic tribute Jess. Rhett bares a proud name; I know he will honor it. Love you tons!
