One a day.
12/22/2009
Today, our son Andrew turned 14. I think he has enjoyed the day so far. After breakfast he went with us to our church to help set up the Christmas trees by the Altar and the Nativity scene. I can't help but be impressed with the young man he is growing into. A couple of months ago, he told me that he wants to be a Priest. That makes two of our sons who are totally open to God's will for their lives. I was surprised when he told me about his desire and I reminded him that it is important to listen for God's voice in his heart and follow the path God points out for him whether that be married life or Priesthood. Then I asked him why he hadn't told us until now. He said "Because I knew you'd give me this lecture". I guess they do hear what we tell them, huh? Happy birthday Andrew. I don't know if I am going to see your hands anointed in Priesthood or given to a wife in marriage. But I do know that I will cry with joy on that day because my little boy has become a man who listens to God's voice. But for now, you are 14. May God make you a holy man! I love you.
