Daily Devotion - Thursday, July 15

It's a Special Day

Thirty three years ago today I was scurrying about in Lima, Ohio trying to make certain my son was cared for while we went to St. Rita's hospital to experience the birth of daughter, Amy. What a wonderful gift she is! Amy and Jason are the proud parents of two children. I can't believe it, but the oldest starts kindergarten in just a few weeks. Before school begins we will go out to Colorado, do some camping and just relax at their wonderful home.

I am grateful for the special day when Amy came among us and I am thrilled to watch how her family is developing. I can hardly believe that my “baby” has a child ready to enter kindergarten. Every Thursday we in Indiana get up like two kids at Christmas because we know there will be an e-mail with pictures attached sharing special parts of their family life. Little did I know that communication would change so dramatically in 3 decades.

I am so blessed. I am thankful. Thanks be to God for this special day.
