My baby boy turned two years old today. Happy Birthday buddy! As you can see from the pic he's one of the cutest little dudes you've ever seen. Asher... his name means happy (Genesis 30.13). It fits him well!
I want to slow down and just enjoy him (and my other kids) this summer. He'll be exploring alot in our back yard and I want to be there for it all. Man, I can't believe how much joy I get from being with my son. It wasn't always like that for me. After our third was born God did a work in my heart and I had to repent of not fully embracing my role as a father. Even though I loved all of my kids, prayed with them, took care of them etc. There was something not yet right in my fathering. During an intense period of my life God broke me and then my wife and I decided to try for one more kid.
Thus... Asher was conceived. He was conceived out of happiness. He was concieved out of the happiness that repentance brings. I want to enjoy him! I want to enjoy every moment I have with him.
