Rites of Passage, and Never Say, "Never!"
April 19, 2007: It was an exciting day at our house. Our oldest reached legal majority and our youngest hit double digits. My husband discovered, "I'll never have a child in single digits again!" I told him to watch his tongue with the "nevers"; God has a sense of humor and a surprising tendency to turn nevers on their ear!

Dear Father,
Thank You for each of our five children. Thank You for my daughter who is the same person she was last week, yet in the eyes of the outside world she is different. Thank You that her heart is after You. Keep her, protect her, continue to woo her as she begins to take her first steps into adulthood.
Thank You, too, for my baby. Born on his sister's eighth birthday, so tiny as he squinted his eyes against the daylight. Now, ten years old. Draw, draw, draw his heart to You. I know he has chosen You. Help him to a deeper understanding, a stronger commitment.
Amen

I'm taking a break from printing the bulletin and stopped in to see what you had written. You write so well - ever thought about writing a book?
I miss you and hope all is well.
Much love
Michelle
