My prayer was always that you would come to know Jesus as your Saviour at an early age and that God would somehow use me to light the way. I made many mistakes and did things I would like to have as a "Do Over", as mortal fathers do, and yet somehow you made it to Jesus. Praise the Father! I can never forget the little boy that was afraid of water, who had given his heart to Jesus one evening at home, when he tugged on my shirt sleeve just before the invitation at church one Sunday morning and said " I just want to get my babitized over." So you went up on your own and you did just that.<BR/><BR/>Just when I thought there was no way to love any greater in this life; many years later God gave us two other little boys. Now in order for these two little boys to be as precious as they are God had to give them a very special mommy, and he did. That mommy is the love of the first little boys life. Every Dad should hope and pray for a great blessing like these four to enter his life. These four were precious enough in God's sight that he called them to be used in a special way by him to show his love.<BR/><BR/>I will be very honest, I gave the first little boy to God as a love offering when he was about 3 and I prayed that God would use him to do great things for the Lord and glorify himself through the little boy. I never really let myself think about what this would mean. The day that I had to say goodbye to the little boy and the sweet love of his life and the two precious blessings God had given them I truly began to understand what our Heavenly Father felt like when he sent his little boy off to bring glory to him. Each time that I have to say goodbye God reminds me what it is like to give a great sacrifice, it hurts so much even though you know it will be imeasurably wonderful in the end. Oh how his heart must have ached and the tears that fell from his eyes - Yo comprendo este mucho.<BR/><BR/>BUT, what joy must have filled his very soul when he saw the little boy come walking home with everyone following behind him. I don't know if the little boy realized how many were watching and decided to follow, but I know the Father's heart sang out to the heavens and this time his eyes filled with tears of sheer joy.<BR/><BR/>I am praying daily that God will guard the trail that the four of you take and guide your footsteps. Heres to being forever child-like<BR/><BR/>Love DadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5697521241837362884.post-31300876132017172442008-09-22T12:19:00.000-05:002008-09-22T12:19:00.000-05:00Yea- a post from the llamas!! :) You've just made ...Yea- a post from the llamas!! :) You've just made my day!
