I know most would say, "Michael, Why do you not just call it an extrordinary day?" Well, because, this day was EXTRA special!
We had the pleasure to worship this morning at our church, have lunch with family, watch our home team win their football game, and spend time with friends. Yet, with all of this excitement, the most extra special part was in the evening with just us, we watched Megan & Jacob play.
Jacob is improving on his ability to balance and take a few steps at a time. It is so cool to see him grow.
Megan also did something special that brought tears to my (Michael) eyes. Rebecca has been working with Megan to recite John 3:16. Well, tonight Megan said it all by herself. I wept with overwhelming joy, because there are times when it seems to all make sense.
Rebecca & I get to learn and celebrate Jacob's steps as a little boy wobbling towards us. We also rejoice over Megan's steps as a "big" girl towards an understanding that Jesus came to save the World.
I am so proud of my wife and all of her hard work in teaching Megan these words. We pray, and ask for your prayers, that these words will permiate into her little heart early in her life so she will recognize that Jesus loves her so much and wants her to know Him.
As a husband, I am proud. As a father, I am proud. As a child of God, I am amazed.
