The Glory of Children...

I remember my grandma waking me up at 4 in the morning to see the Royal wedding of Prince Andrew and "Fergie". As I sat there with a cup of "coffee" (milk, sugar, and a drop of coffee) and watched all the events unfold, I remember thinking how special it would be to be a princess! What girl doesn't ever dream of being a princess? How special and unique! When I walked up stairs last night, I caught a glimpse of something far more glorious and unique than a position of royalty. I watched my daughter sitting in her daddy's strong arms as he prayed for her life. She is so blessed!

oh Leah, What a priceless picture. God is good to our children to give them fathers who resemble their Heavenly Father! Thanks for the encouragement about envy! I have never been so tired in all my life...but God continually reminds me that "He is the strength of my life!" love you.

Leah - how blessed you are to have a Godly husband who prays with and for his family. I'm sure if I had been you walking in to see that, I would have cried. What an awesome picture!
