Parents Get the Bird

Seriously, they finally got the bird. The bird is an eagle and it is bronze.

Now, I have pretty wonderful parents who are special and whose lives have been blessed by God. We are taught by our faith that we keep what we give away. And they have laid up treasures in heaven through their generous giving over the years.

Dad was born in 1920 and Mom in 1922. They have been faithful supporters of Hawaii Baptist Academy in Honolulu, Hawaii and go there once a year to support the school and have served on the HBA Mainland Advisory Council.

HBA is a Baptist School in Hawaii that educates children and in the process many come to Christ along with their families.

Each year my parents go and tell the family that they are really too old to go and this is their last trip. Well, after 5 or 6 years of hearing this, I don't get too worried any more about them not going.

One of the pictures above is a picture of Dick Bento, President of Hawaii Baptist Academy presenting my parents with an Eagle (HBA's mascot is an eagle) for giving over $100,000.00 to the school.

Mom and Dad wrote to us kidding about where our inheritance had gone. Well, all I can say is they left us a richer heritage about generosity, faithfulness, integrity and have demonstrated a good example of being a follower of Christ.

I hate to tell HBA but we got the better deal.
