Look at the man you've become, the father. I am so proud of you. You are so right. I too am forever changed by the four perfect little gifts God has given to me. Daily I am thankful for all that they teach me about the world, about who I am in the world, and about how to be a better mother to them and daughter of Christ. Lucas is a blessed little boy.

It is so difficult to project into the future, to imagine the world that keeps changing as it will be in any static moment of the future. Will we look back at this as an amazing time of conflict and violence, or could things become such that we think back to these days as days of relative peace? Your prayers for your son also make me think that, as a dad, I'm so hopeful about a set of outcomes for my girls, and also about the way they experience life as it passes. Sometimes though, I wonder if the things I hope about the outcomes match up with kinds of experiences I am hoping for. I want them to become humble, but it is more difficult to imagine the experiences that will produce humility. Great fatherly thoughts!
