Worship Gear - Vol. 11

Below is the brief presentation I made during my Dad's memorial service
A tribute to my dad: David Sears

There are many things that have been said about my dad.

·         Diplomat

·         Provider

·         Coach

·         Mentor

·         Protector

My dad was many of these things to me and many others.

He was always trying to keep everyone calm and peaceful while working to minimize any drama.  He traveled the world while providing a good living for our family.  He taught me baseball, soccer and the importance of car control.  He helped me learn how to build a career, follow my passions, to always do my best and to always push forward and make the most of any situation.  He fiercely protected my mom and our family to the very end.

Most of all, though, he was a lover of Jesus Christ and a great example of faith in Him.  Many times, when things seemed to working well, or working against him, Dad would point us back to the goodness of Christ and His love for us.  Even in the end, Dad wanted to focus on the grace and mercy of Christ.

Many things have been said about my dad and the type of man he was, but most of all I will remember him as a good Godly man and follower of Christ.
