Well, it will be just a few days until we’ll be on our way to the Kansas City area to prepare for our son’s wedding. This truly is the end of an era, and the beginning of another for us. We only had two kids, and now they both will have families of their own.
Times like this make me pause and reflect, something I don’t do very often any more. Time marches on, as they say, and there is nothing we can (or would) do to stop that.
Our son asked for pictures of him when he was home. I’m thinking they are making some kind of display. Those pictures, as we looked through them, tore my heart more than once. We had such a good time as a family when the boys were home. I couldn’t have asked for a better ride in life than what we had with our family. Even so, it’s time to move on.
Hopefully, each of my sons will have that same ride in their families and with their lives. As they look back in 20 to 25 years, hopefully they will remember the good things and decide that on balance, life handed them a pretty good deal.
And after all, any good deal we receive is really undeserved and made possible only by the grace and mercy of the One who started it all.
