Happy Thankgiving North American friends! It has been a long time since I jotted down some thoughts here…. I suppose with facebook it seems a bit redundant to write about your life when it is already online… so anywhoo…. I have had two weeks of our daughters at home and I have loved it. I chalk it up to one of those special and rare occasions left as a whole family group before the end of school in about 6 weeks. My two oldest will be finished this chapter in their lives and so times like this may be on the way out with only a precious few left. Trips abroad are planned, schools are being checked out and North American summer plans are in the making. Meanwhile, our youngest Mackenzie is loving life, living large and enjoying being sweet 16. They all make me a proud
papa!
I have prayed and will continue to pray that they are as prepared for the real world as much as possible. I pray that they grow up to love their God with wisdom and passion and then turn around and do the same for the people around them. I know that my wife has trained them well to be young women and for that I am soooo grateful. I hope I have done the same for them as the two oldest begin the journey of finding that special someone to spend the rest of their lives with. I hope and pray I have shown them a picture of what a good and righteous man is all about. Not perfect but honest, not consumed with being successful but rather faithful to the road that God has asked me to travel. Content with a bit of mystery, as there are something’s that cannot be known, but eager to grow in my knowledge of God, people and world that God has created.
This is my prayer.
