Standing up to wish John a Happy Birthday
As I've mentioned before, John is living with us for the summer. At first, it was a big adjustment for him, but he seems to have settled in nicely... ie. he can now snooze right through the early morning shenanigans of a toddler and a preschooler. He's been very busy at the pool. Everyone that I've talked to says he is doing a wonderful job. (Of course, I don't think they would complain to his mother, but they don't have to say anything.) When he's not there, he's playing music, either guitar or drums. He's quite a music junkie. I think it is a bit unsettling to him not to know what he will be doing when the summer is over. He has a couple of job prospects, but nothing solid; and nothing that he'd want to make a career out of. I pray that God will make it unmistakably clear which direction he needs to go in the next phase of his life.
When I look at this young man, I still see a little boy who bought me a ring out of a machine and would bring it to me to wear whenever I was going somewhere (I still have it). I see a kind hearted little one who would hide behind a chair because a movie, (ET), made him cry. I see a mischievous teenager who sent me to my knees constantly praying for his safety, because he was certain he was invincible. I see a young man that will make a great husband and father one day. I see a son that I love dearly and can't wait to see what he will become!
Happy Birthday
I love you John William!!!
