I grabbed a photo of Josie as she was leaving for Zumba this evening. Stefanie, and Peyton were both out back teasing their Mom about backing out the driveway. Josie has a history of not doing well when backing up, and she had to back around Stefanie's car, so they were having a good time giving her a hard time. This may seem like a simple every day photo to some of you, but to me, this simple photo of our two Children laughing, and being home with us, in this frame of mind is truly a breath of happiness to this Father's heart. To see them as they are today, knowing that they have outgrown their dangerous lifestyle, and matured into two responsible adults, gives this Dad more joy than you could ever imagine.
Ah God is good. A blessing! I know exactly what you mean. To see our children have joy when they have had plenty of trials is, well, a real blessing. Feeling thankful for your joy.
