To my middle son. Today he is eight and an absolute delight. He is filled with curiosity, eagerness and a heart for the Lord.
I say this all the time but I often feel that I have gained a much better perspective of my relationship with the Lord by having children. They challenge me with their words of piercing truth. Their innocent questions of extreme depth and their ability to love me despite all of my faults. They look to me for guidance and I often find myself being led by them. How amazing that God would provide me with such a humbling and educational experience rolled up in the sweet gaze of my children.
I am extremely blessed to be a mom to them and I know I've been entrusted with a great treasure.
How thankful I am for my middle son and how I look forward to seeing what God will do in his life. If his years thus far and the sheer volume of lessons he has taught me are any indication, I am prepared for an exciting adventure.
Today I will be hugging them all, but squeezing my middle son a little tighter as he moves a little further in his race (Hebrews 12:1). May he experience the love of Christ daily and may I be an example of His love and grace in my days with him.

Hey Alicia,
I have learned so much from my children. They have also stretched me in areas that would not have been exposed with anyone else. Great words.
