I've Had This Day Circled on My Calendar

I've known this day would eventually get here. I've thought about it many times over the past several years, I just didn't think it would come so quickly! Our daughter - the baby of the family - celebrated her 13th birthday yesterday. That means I woke up this morning the father of three teenagers. Yep, three teenagers in one house. Depending on your perspective, it can strike fear in your heart. I can't begin to tell you the joy that our children have brought to our lives. Kristie and I thank God for Matt, Tim, and Ashley every day. They are truly a gift from God! Sometimes parenting can be quite an adventure, but it is so awesome to see God working in the lives of our kids. It's on the parenting adventure that God has taught me some of life's most important lessons and I suspect I've got a lot more learning to do!
