​Thanks so much for joining us for Wednesday’s Word with Trench Classes United. Recently we lost a great man, and while I’ve always realized his value and impact in my life, I wanted to share that with you today. We never know how many tomorrows we have with those we love, so value them today.
Years ago I entered a season that was nothing less than God restoring what the enemy had stolen from me as a result of a traumatic childhood. Joel 2:25 He sent me a BFF! We did almost everything together. We were roommates, teammates; we traveled together, shopped together, cried together, laughed together, prayed together…and as God prepared her for who He had for her, He blessed me with a brand new home that was about six to eight months from completion. So we moved in with her parents…
This was another season of restoring what the enemy had stolen because I didn’t have any sort of healthy relationship with either of my biological parents.
Pops, as I liked to call Richard, was the earthly dad I never had on so many levels. His love, life and death inspired this poem:
I’ll leave the light on
You un-hesitatingly invited me into your home
No questions asked you treated me as your own
You were a man of few words, yet you enjoyed conversations
About world affairs, family affairs and even some hesitations
 
You had about all of those things that were bringing unrest
You clung to your faith; Pops, you passed the earthly test
You never hesitated to make me feel loved, part of your family
And not just in words, but in deeds the eyes of my heart could see
You were a dad in every sense of the word to your own and to me
And I know that that is one of your many rewards up in eternity
I loved how you waited up for us to return to the shelter of your home
You’d always leave the light on, letting us know we weren’t alone
 
That light led your children and your children’s children to their own love of God
But the legacy didn’t stop there; it has reached so many more, it’s gone so broad
This light brought me home and kept me from wandering off track
Physically, and spiritually; it helped to keep me from going back
 
This light inspired me to get to where I am today
Leaving the light on for others that they may find their way…
To The Father’s arms, and see you entertain the angels with your song
Yes we will one day rejoice together about the light that you left on
 
Until we meet again, Pops…
Love,
Kim-Evinda
