The Father to my children

Tonight as we changed Avery into his over night diapers, got him into his PJ's and handed him to his daddy,  I couldn't help but get tears in my eyes as Kurt sat Avery down and read him a Bible story from Avery's "Adventure Bible" then prayed with him. 

I have always known that I was very blessed to have a God fearing husband,  but just lately I've realized how incredibly blessed I am to have a God fearing Father to my children.   I never knew the worry I'd feel knowing that someday my children will need to make a decision whether to follow Christ, or walk away.  As a parent we are to lead our children in a way that will show them God's love,   And I am so very thankful that I have a husband who bears the weight with me!

As I listened to Kurt pray, I couldn't help but smile as he said "  Thank you for our fingers as we're discovering to use them, to grab things and hold things, and for our toes as we learn to stand and balance."   Too often I forget to thank God for the things I take for granted, like my fingers and toes!
