Its Been A Long Time

Its 5:30 am on a Saturday morning.  The house is quiet, the dogs are still sleeping, my wife is just starting to stir.  I thought I would check my email and there was a message from our oldest letting us know that she had something special posted on her blog.  She said she was asked to speak at church in tomorrow mornings service and she wanted to give us a heads up on what she was going to say.  

Ooooo.  My mind shifted into overdrive trying to guess what that message might be.  Good?  Bad?  What would she say that she thought we might need advanced notice of? 

Shame on me! 

I guess I really needed to read what she said.  It made me realize that as parents we really do have influence in who/what our children become.  I mean, I already knew that...I just needed to be reminded.  What a wonderful young woman of God she has become.  

Now, please understand, I am not saying that she is who she is because of me or because of my influence in her life.  Although I would like to think her mom and I played a part in who she has become...she is who she is because of the choices she has made in response to those life circumstances and events that take place everyday.  And wow, are we proud of her.

Rock on Kassie!
