Sometimes, parenting can be stressful and worrisome. When I look at the world today it makes me wonder what we were thinking when we decided to have kids and bring them into a place like this. But then I have a day like yesterday and have to stop and thank God for blessing us the way we have been blessed with three wonderful young men.
My oldest read scripture yesterday in the worship service, and if you know him, you have to stop and say, “Wow, he got up in front of all those people!” It was really cool to get up and preach after he had read the passage – he did a great job and I am really proud of him. My middle one, week in and week out, has committed to run the video for our services. All the slides for the music, etc. are visible because of the work he does during the service. I am really proud of him as well – that takes real commitment. Then at the end of the service, during the invitation and prayer time, my youngest came up to me at the front of the church and asked to pray with me about God’s guidance for our family.
I have to tell you – God has truly blessed Kristi and me. I wish we could take credit for them but in all honesty, God has blessed us with some pretty cool guys!
Thank you Lord – now help us to encourage them to continue and guide us as we try to guide them.
