The Greatest Compliment by Jeremy Pearsons Other than the Word of God and listening to the Holy Spirit, I believe there is no greater teacher in life than life itself. The things we experience often serve as building blocks that help shape who we are. As we celebrate Father’s Day this month, I would like to take the time to share some personal experiences with my dad that have impacted my life. Let me begin by saying my dad would be the first to tell you he is far from perfect…but not in my eyes. Not only has he taught me to love God and the Word, but he is also responsible for my love of music. As a baby, I sat on Dad’s shoulders watching and listening to him play the piano. And eventually, I sat next to him while he patiently taught me to play. Because of my parents, I know how to believe God for healing in my body. As a child when I’d get sick, 1 Peter 2:24 was always the first medicine I was given, followed by a healthy dose of Papa Kenneth’s healing tapes! Yet another building block in my faith was set when Dad announced we would be giving our house away—a house that was completely paid for! This was a shining example to me of how to give God our best seed. I also remember Dad in his pajamas, struggling to stay awake at 2 a.m. while he helped me complete a science project that was due the next day. Not only did that experience teach me about a father’s unconditional love, but it also taught me not to procrastinate! Dad also loved me enough to spank me and ground me for wrong behavior. For that, I’m thankful! He taught me what not to do…and that is often the most valuable thing a person can know. I see in George Pearsons a man being made perfect through a life devoted to the Word. The building blocks of honor and integrity are set in my life because they count for something in his. By seeing him walk in humility, I’ve learned the value of preferring others. And possibly some of the greatest lessons he’s taught me came when he said, “Son, this is where I’ve missed it.” As you can tell, I love him! And when someone says, “Hey Jeremy, you remind me so much of your dad,” it’s one of the greatest compliments I could receive!
