Having one of the blessed times of my life Was sitting down with my God Ordained Father Dr. LA Newby #drlanewby and geting great words of wisdom during this Holiday season. Nothing like family. Love ya Dad for all ya support and love ya showed me over these years. You took the place of the biological Dad I never had to encourage me, you were there during my failures, you were there during my child like and selfish ways, you were there just to hear your Dad say, "You can do it son, keep on keeping on." Of course mom (Dr. Sarah Newby) is always there encouraging me as well. You have showed me that the greatest thing any gather can give there son or daughter is simple and priceless Love. You embraced me and my family at #firstcorithiansbaptistchurch in Frankfort many decades ago, I will never forget, even when I didn't shows my appreciation like I should have. Thank you, thank mom, Teresa & #1stCorbaptisChurchfamily back then Meaning it don't money, things, even possessions to show your child that they love you. Your words are ageless, your love is priceless, and your time spent with me is timeless, which is why I capture these pictures with you, the experience will always be NOW! when I look at them and will receive the same joy I receives while being in your presence. I Thank God for sending you my way, for God is #TotalAbundance . Like I say about my Heavenly Father Dad, "If you don't do another thing for me, you have already done enough." I may not always follow every wise word and direction, but I do know you gave me the best guidance and son could ever get. Though God brought in I. My life during my college yrs. at #ksu campus at #kystateuniversitygospelensemble yearly , I feel God was right on time. You are my Dad, pastor when needed and Spiritual Dad through divine appointment. I can keep writing and the words would almost not end, just like I can say about my Heavenly Father. God is so good, so are you dad. WOW! Did I mean to say all that, YES!!! Can't say enough. This is my Love letter to my Dad for the world to see. Not to boast but to give God Glory for being a provider, not just of things but of people you need in your life. signed #johnwrhodes
