Another Adult in the House
We had a beautiful day. Kathy stayed home from school and spent time with us. I got to take her out to lunch. I enjoyed her company and felt so blessed to have the opportunity to spend so much time with my precious daughter.
When we came home, the siblings had all pitched in to make the house shine. What a delight greeted me as I opened the door. Big sister Ariel made an amazing cake (3 layers) and decorated with baloons and confetti to spare. We had all kinds of unhealthy snacks and were, as usual, too full to eat cake. We have been enjoying it today, though--YUM!
Kathy received presents from everyone and little homemade cards from certain small brothers. She is set to enter a adulthood, or is she?
Have I communicated Christ's love to her enough that she will grow up understanding Him? That is the one thing that can make her adulthood meaningful and rich. I am praying that she will make the adult decision to completely follow the Lord. She has been made for a purpose. May she find the delight of fulfilling that reason for her creation.
I love her and cherish her, perhaps all the more because I lost her twin sister. That makes her far more than twice as important to me. I thank God for these first 18 years and hope the next ones will be blessed by Him.
