Children

It is so fascinating to see how different our children are.

We have gifted and special needs; we have athletes and klutzes; we have social butterflies and those who prefer to be alone; we have servants and selfish.

Yet we love all of our children equally. Or perhaps Erma Bombeck said it best - "I love the child who needs me most at the time." Used to be that didn't sit well with me. Now I think I understand - when our children have a need, as parents we want to fill it. And, thank you Lord, seldom have more than one of our children been going through a crisis at the same time. Therefore, we have been able to meet their needs to the best of our ability.

Our children are a blessing. God is good to us.
