My sons are always surprising and blessing me. Both are living life with a lot of maturity and responsibility. That's not unusual but there are times like now that bring more clarity to how far they've come in their (nearly) 30 years. I'm happy to see it ... more so for them than for personal satisfaction.
Chris just concluded one of the toughest semesters one can have in one of the toughest programs (Music Ed) for a person who also has to put himself through school. He did it with much sacrifice and hard work. Also with very impressive commitment and persistence. Proud of him? You bet! But more than anything it's further evidence (and proof ... to him) he'll do well in life long after I'm gone.
Matt has proven and well established himself in his chosen profession ... a ministry (much more than a 'job') actually. He's a valued and productive contributor to the mission at His Place Church in Post Falls, ID. He just keeps growing in those responsibilities and there seems to be no limit to ways in which he can make a contribution and demonstrate leadership. Cool! Now he and his wife, Heather, are beginning a new chapter in their lives with the confluence of two major accomplishments ... Heather's Master's Degree and the purchase of their first home (closing on 5/29).
My sons have always blessed me.
