more than we deserve .....

saturday morning we headed for the new national harbor area which is located across the river from alexandria, va. in maryland. corry and carly decided that we'd take a water taxi which proved to be a great idea. boarding the boat in alexandria we crossed the potomac and arrived at the newly constructed docks of the national harbor. after a day of exploring this new treasure, the national harbor, and returning to alexandria, we headed for the local ikea store. karen and i have never been inside of one of these stores and were a bit overwhelmed by the number of household items available. seeing corry and carly in their own home and watching from afar as they navigate their way thru life together makes this father realize just how fortunate karen and i are. our children are one of a kind and they're more than we deserve. thank you Lord ...

sounds like you had a wonderful visit! the kids are more than you deserve because you were more than they deserved. your investment in them has paid huge dividends not only to our family, but to each individual they come in contact with.

amen brother! your kids are a treasure, and we are so blessed by their friendship. i echo kristyn's words that your devotion to them with humility and deference to God was the fertilizer that nourished them while they grew and then was the foundation from which they bloomed.
