| | GrandpaHave you ever had someone so impacted your life that you wanted to live just like them? April 19th reminds me of one of those people that has impacted my life forever. My Harold Alexander Holt a.k.a my Grandpa. He was born in 1926 and saw alot happen in his lifetime. He worked on a farm as a young boy and joined the army when he was 18. He severed faithfully in WW2 in the Big Red1 and received many awards for bravery. He was wounded three times and spent his 19th birthday in hospital cause he had been shot. He didn't to anything heroic he would say "I just did my job." He never bragged about what he did in life he was always very humble and anything he did was because of God in his life. God gave me 22 wonderful years with this man here on earth but as I write this I realize that He will give me so many more with Grandpa after my life on earth is over. Times I have spent at my Grandparent's house have been so precious to me. You'd come down at breakfast and there they'd be and they baby you and do whatever you wanted but after breakfast was always devotion time. I didn't matter if all of us grandkids were there or if only the two of them they always had them. My Grandpa taught me so many lessons about life that I wouldn't even be able to share them all in this post. He made life so much fun while teaching us the importance of hard work and honesty. On December 7,2006 my Grandpa went home to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. A race well run and fight well fought and he finished his course and left behind a life that legacy that can do nothing but point towards God. Today would have been his 82nd birthday but this year he gets to spend if with God. Isn't that awesome. Grandpa is someone in my life that has impacted me forever and I wish I had told him that more often. So I ask you again dear reader,who has effected your life forever? Why not let them know today.
