Yes, my view is now blocked by a lankly"I-will-be-10-years-old-tomorrow" boy. Or should I say young man? When he walks in front of me, I can no longer see over him. He has a lovely thick head of hair and long lean neck and I see youthful muscles maturing in his shoulders and arms. And his arms....when he gives me a big bear hug they wrap all the way around me. I remember when his arms could only wrap around my neck when I picked him up and carried him in my arms.
Yesterday he picked me up.
Has a decade really passed?
How did we get from this:
to this:
You are growing so quickly. Have your Dad and I done enough to keep God's word in your heart? Are we doing all that is needed for you to become a good Christian man?
I think you will grow to be a fine example of God's love. I'm just not ready for you to keep growing!
Keep your eyes and heart on God, my eldest, and your path will be made straight.
