Proud
Just got back from Lunch with the Family Kimberly, Stephen and Hailey. We went to Steak n Shake. I just had a very proud moment with my Son and family. Stephen pulled out a 20.00 bill and said Dad I am buying lunch today. I said no I got it, he said Dad I am buying lunch. I looked in his wallet as he handed me the 20.00 bill, this is all he had not a penny more. He said thats ok i dont need anything. I really cant put into words how I feel, but to know where his heart is makes me a very very proud parent. Flashes of parenting, Love, Godliness, selflishness... this is one of those moments you never forget as a parent to see how your son is growing up into a man not just any man but a Christian Man I can only say WOW and God Bless... Let our children humble us and remind us to give caringly and not just the leftovers but everything we have....my son just did.

That's awesome! We have a real battle today trying to teach our kids self-lessness in this society where everything is all about "Me,Me,Me". It is a great feeling when we see our own children being different and doing things out of love. This world could certainly use a few more Stephens! :-)
ReplyDeletewow, what a good little man you guys are raising their Bob and Kimberly. It pays to be in God's word with your children... in this case literally :)
