MILESTONES
It’s been one of those hurricane type of weeks. Busy beyond belief, what you’d call a “Milestone” week. When one of those type of weeks roll around, with all the balls I like to juggle, something’s gonna fall. And more often than not, it’s a fine thing.
You see, we’ve been praying, and not for just a little while. Not so much for this day or week, but for all the days of Ali’s life.
Family and friends were present to see our middle daughter get married. There was laughter and there were tears… and the family got bigger. And to a very welcome and fine young man that grasps the meaning of “Fear of the Lord”.
It’s a blessing from God to live long enough to see our children walk the paths and aisle directed by Him.
I’ve gone from being a little tyke in people’s weddings as a kid to participating in my own. Now I’ve seen three daughters grow up. I’ve witnessed two of them getting married and one of them having a couple kids of her own.
These aging eyes have seen much… and I’ve never failed to see the hand of God’s protection, provision, and grace in my life and the lives of my loved ones.
So I’ll continue to pray like I have from the beginning. As my family grows so do my prayers.
A week when all the balls I’ve been juggling drop to the ground around me, I’m reminded of what’s truly important. And I’m also reminded of the wisdom it takes to be still and know that He is God… and He’s the giver of blessings in milestones.

Nothing better then to see our grown up, married to a believing mate that will take care of them as well as Papa did. Congratulations…

What a great honor it is, my friend, to see your children become an answer to your prayers. I’m so glad to read that Quaid knows “the fear of the Lord.” You and Diane have to be ecstatic. Keep praying because now the real work in their lives begins.

Oh, Floyd, she is just beautiful! I know you are so proud of her. They make a wonderful couple, and now you have a new son to share with and enjoy special times. God has abundantly blessed you, and I trust He will continue to do so. I was just praying for you this morning and am so thankful to see your post and know that all is well. Congratulations to you, your wife, and the happy couple! May many years of health and happiness come to all of you, in Jesus’ name!

Yes, there are season, and times, and this is a time to rejoice when your daughter finds a man to marry who knows the “Fear of the Lord.” Roses, and thorns on the rose bushes, but that is all part of life too. Congratulations on your participation in a wonderful wedding. Yes, I understand.

Congratulations, Floyd. I could “feel” your heart. You’ve done a great job as a parent – on your knees. God bless you and your family, Floyd.

Praise the Lord, Floyd! What a beautiful couple! I pray they will continue in the “fear (reverence) of the Lord” together for many, many, many years. Congrats on your new son, and I know you will be a blessing in his life.
