He walks with me... 11,073 steps (The music at the conference was so loud, that I could walk laps around the exterior of the outdoor arena and listen comfortably while enjoying a brisk, breezy walk.)
He talks with me... "A wise son grings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother." - Proverbs 10:1
Why does the dad get the goods, and the mom suffers most if parenting fails? Is Solomon simply being poetic? I think every day that I parent "young men" in my home, I know a hint of each: possibilities of such joy & potential for such grief.
He tells me I am His own... "The Lord delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love." - Psalm 147:11
