I praise you because I am fearfully
and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
-Psalm 139:14
What I've Learned Becoming a Dad for the Third Time...
- God does miracles everyday!
- There where six people in the room...and then...while the door was still closed...there were seven living breathing souls in the room! WOW!
- God's works are wonderful!!
- I have an amazing wife!
- I have married as amazing woman!
- Did I mention how awesome my wife is? Seriously, I am SO proud of her.
- I've been there for the birth of my other two sons, but something was extra special about Elaine and David Andrew on Thursday.
- I've heard it said that we should call our moms on our birthday. I have definitely seen why!
- I have been given a huge blessing that I did not deserve.
- I have been given a monstrous responsibility to which I embrace fully.
- DO you realize that God used my wife and I to create and bring into the world a living breathing soul that will never cease to exist. He will live forever.
- There is nothing I want more than to see my sons living for the glory of God.
- That which we have prayed for has been answered, and we are so grateful.
- There has been much rejoicing over the birth of our son. We praise God for Him!
- I have never felt more cared for by friends and family.
- God is so good!!
Today, as an act of worship, join me in a celebration of thanksgiving. We have been asking for prayers for Elaine and David Andrew for many long months. You have prayed; we have prayed. God has heard and responded. Now, we worship with thanksgiving!!!!!!!!
I have found David...a man after my own heart;
he will do everything I want him to do.
-Acts 13:22
he will do everything I want him to do.
