Mother's Day and Father's Day Celebrations

Seems...Mother's Day and Father's Day

celebrations always seems to bring on moments of

pondering on our years of

parenting...what we did right...

and what we wish we might have done differently...

Yet, seeing how our children are all, but, one...

now raising up families of their own...

I can only, now, PRAY, each of our children...

will enjoy their season...of parenting...

like we enjoyed our incredible children

we had the privilege of raising...

Beginning with our oldest...

Joshua...and his incredibly supportive military wife...Holly

and their "7" VERY OUT-GOING..... children... smile

He and his darling wife...Rose
