God uses my kids to teach and refine me on a daily basis. I am not sure there is a more humbling job than the job of a parent. I look at our boys and at times see that truly they are created in the image of God. One attribute of God that I see over and over again in our boys is joy! Throughout Scripture God calls believers to be joyful in all circumstances from trials to every day life. Children, especially ours, have no problem with this, although adults seem to really struggle with this. Whether it is navigating the Houston highways and squealing "wheeeeeee" as we go through particular areas, chasing our poor lab around the house and laughing with complete delight, zooming trucks through the living room, or playing with their suitcases our boys are full of unspeakable joy. This is one thing I hope they never grow out of!
Thank you Lord for giving me such great joys in my life.
