The Gift of Family

This week is Christmas week.  My sons are more excited than a cat in a yarn shop.  This year our family will spend the holiday the way we always do, together.  There is something very special about family.  I’m hoping this Christmas, my sons learn a few lessons about family, from the Robertson family.

“The Inn Keeper” by John Piper

Kelly saw this tonight and shared it with me.  As a father, I was moved to tears.  What a wonderful & powerful poem.   It is such a fresh perspective on the characters we’ve all heard of but the stories that have been left untold.  It truly is a hidden gem and a new classic for our Christmas season.

I hope you enjoy this simple little Gift as much as we did.

Look Ma’ No Training Wheels!!!

There is nothing quite like the feeling of wind-blowing-through-your-hair-freedom that comes from a good bike ride.  It’s exciting to do it and even more exciting to see you son or daughter do it for the first time.
