Go Rest High On That Mountain


(This photo was taken by my Dad, and may not be borrowed or pinned.)

 He is gone.
The kind and gentle man that I looked up to all my life.
Mountaineer, educator, leader, man of faith. 
Daddy.

"Go rest high on that mountain."

    I lost my Daddy a couple of years ago and one of the songs I took great comfort in was Vince Gill's "Go Rest High on that Mountain". My prayers are with you.

    I'm sorry to read of your loss. The pastor at the school I teach at just lost his Dad last week, who was also a pastor. I wrote in his card of the time my Daddy died, I felt a shaking of my very foundations of my life; it made me glad to have the comfort of God's promises. I do pray for peace and rest for you all. hugs, pokey

    So sorry to hear about your loss Gayle. Your father's photograph is beautiful. Losing a parent is one of the hardest things we have to face (both mine are gone) but in time the memories will shine brighter than the darkness.

    When my father in law passed in March this song was sung at his funeral. I find it very comforting. I hope you like it.
