Yep, my baby just turned double-digits yesterday, the big 1-0! As I think about him, I know that God gave me this child just for me. He brings such joy. He has a sensitive heart that sees when his Mommy needs a hug. And he loves to make everyone laugh. How I thank God for him, my precious jewel. But I was just kidding, I know he is not for me, but for God's glory, except, it feels like God knew what I needed, and said, "this one is for you," because everytime I think about him, I feel my soul just got a hug and I smile. You should see me smiling now!
And my Dad turned the big 8-1 today! There was a surprise birthday party yesterday for him in Trinidad. I happened to call and got to speak to all the aunts and uncles. And my childhood friend had also dropped by and I got to hear her voice! It was special. I am so glad that my Dad had people around to celebrate his special day with all his children living abroad in the US, Canada, and England.
Thank You, Father. Would You please bless these two during the new year you have granted them. Please grant them a personal sign of Your love and goodness for them. Grant my 10-yr-old with a heart that longs after You, that easily grasps Your truth, that overflows with Your compassion for others. And grant my Dad his final years with purpose. Revive his spirit and heart in You and may he spend his final years living with passion for You and Your work with good health. Thank You, Lord. Amen.
