"He was always smiling, always happy, always a joke to tell..."
Kelita Deems, a longtime friend and frequent writer for the Elijah List, sister ministry to Breaking Christian News, wrote a beautiful tribute to her father—James L. Wilson, "Mr. Kroger," of Belpre, OH—who recently went home to Heaven. Her father poured his life into his calling as a beloved preacher and the 2nd-longest Kroger employee, who "loved people ... loved making them smile. If they didn't smile, he would take it as a challenge." (Image: Courtesy-Kelita Deems)
Kelita says in her tribute to her dad that he once told her, "When I die, you'll see a smile on my face because I know where I am going."
She notes that they will "never know how many people he touched, who touched others—only God knows—but I know this: many people are better off for knowing my dad ... my dad never filled a stadium or had his name on TV, but he was kind to people. He loved them, and shared Jesus with them." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
