Today, February 14th, we are celebrating my Grandpa's 87th Birthday!He is a Valentines Baby!:) Wow, to live to be 87...to see all the changes happen in this world, from the depression to technology today!
Grandpa has dedicated his whole life to the work of the Lord. Just last October the church in Napa celebrated it's 60th Anniversary. To me, that's beautiful! When driving in Napa there are certain buildings/homes you can find that he has plastered or land he purchased for investments, his fingerprints are on this city. Grandpa raised all three of his daughters in Napa. Napa was his passion for souls. Although he served the Western District for 34 years & enjoyed it dearly, his burden for Napa ran deeper.
One of Grandpa's dreams was to start daughter works in the surrounding cities & he was blessed to see that happen. There is American Canyon & Vacaville. Both churches are now antonymous & growing!:)
His words of wisdom he has been preaching for several year is "Knowing Jesus"...having that deeper relationship w/ God. He loves talking about the Bible!:)
Grandpa loves a garden. Many times if you were going to his house you'd find him out on the tractor in the garden w/ his dog Chester.,
This is my birthday card to Grandpa:
I am blessed to know you, Grandpa
I'm blessed to know a loving man
who believes that a close family is a strong family,
that honoring traditions honors the past,
and that teaching his grand kids everything he knows
is the best way to spoil them.
I thank God for you, Grandpa.
I'm blessed to know such a strong man
who has earned the dignified words that describe him-
wise, principled, tolerant, gracious...
and whose standards do his generation proud
in creating a legacy of opportunity for those to come.
I thank God for you, Grandpa.
And I'm blessed to know a faithful man
who has forever set his heart on the Lord
and always kept his family warm and nurtured
by wrapping them in the sturdy fabric of his faith,
a man after His own heart...
I thank God for you, Grandpa.
Happy Birthday Grandpa!:)

Happy Birthday Bro. Price. May blessings be yours throughout the whole year. The Hoppers
Thank you for your birthday wishes. I am passing them along!
Andrea - thanks for sharing your grandpa with so many others throughout the years. He has impacted all our lives and, most especially, Bryce. When Bryce was just a little boy, probably 9 or 10 years old, your grandpa came to our church and while preaching about "Knowing Jesus," he told everyone they needed to buy the tapes and listen to them over and over. Unbeknown to us, Bryce bought the tapes with his own money and they could often be heard from his bedroom or brought in the car. Bryce called him Sunday to wish him a belated birthday greeting. I am so thankful my son has such a hero in his life.
