Our Children

One of my 'truths' that I have always said about our 3 children is....
"They have taken what we taught them in our home while 'growing up' and improved on it with their individuality.....and have become an inspiration back to us...and others as well!"
While I read one of my devotions this morning it reminded me of this truth...
It went something like this:
"A Doctor friend came home late one evening when everyone but his youngest son, Matthew, was downstairs.  Even with his limited awareness of his dad's work Matthew knew his Dad was having a really difficult time. Matt didn't understand what a doctor goes through when a young patient dies, but he knew that his father had been sad all week. 
When Matthew went upstairs and then returned he was proudly wearing his dad's  much-too-large-for-him lab coat,
"Look, Dad, I'm you!" Matthew said.  
"That's real cute, Matthew, " Steve said absentmindedly.
"No Dad, you don't understand.  Let me be you for a while.
If I'm you, then you don't have to  be!"

Thank God our children are more than what they learn and inherit from us!
