joy

Please allow me to take a break from the Africa stories so that you can REJOICE WITH ME! I have three children. The oldest, Allison is graduating from college on Saturday with a BS in nursing from UCM [Warrensburg]. That is pretty exciting! To birth a child, teach them to tie their shoes. Walk them through the grade school then teenage years, high school then college. What a joy.

Here is the pay off. Yesterday, after several interviews, Alli was offered and has accepted a job at St. Luke's East Hospital as an RN. Is that exciting or what!

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Congrat's to Allison, and to Mom and Dad and Allison's siblings. Always payday someday for the hard work of parenting. It's worth it.

Jeff, that is awesome - how proud you and Cathy must be! A couple of weeks ago at services your family (and a boyfriend?) was sitting in the front pew in front of the choir loft and I couldn't help but think what a great looking group they were. Congrats!

They grow up, but they'll never stop being your children. The rewards of your parenting will continue to shine through them and their work. Even when there are stumbles, we learn to let them pick themselves up and go on even when we want to help! Look what Alli did on her own! Blessings and praise for all of you!
