We welcome a new soul into the family this week. While I admit to prejudice, I think he is awful cute. I have to admit that one of my first thoughts is that this kid has really bad timing. I can’t think of a worse time to come into the world. Things are such a mess. The economy is in the tank. Radicals world-wide want to kill us. Morals are in the toilet. Politics smell like the toilet. People are nervous about just going see a movie. Your timing sucks, Logan James.
But God brought me up short. I don’t hear from Him every day. I did hear from Him when those thoughts began to cross my mind. “My timing is perfect.” He said. “This world has many needs and Logan James is here to help. Every one of my children has a special purpose and he is no different. ” God is right. Who would have thought.
This child has a chance to be special. Every child does, but this one God placed here. He’s got great parents. His big sister is awesome. He comes into an extended family that loves and serves the Lord. He’s going to be something.
As bad as things seem, it’s no time to throw up our hands and go hide. It’s time to come out fighting. It’s time to do all we can to make this world a better place, to clear the way for Logan James to do what God created Him to do. My part may be small. It may even be temporary, but it’s a part and it’s my job to do it.
Welcome Logan James. There’s lots of work to do and you’re just the guy we need now. I know that because otherwise why would God send you. Thanks Lord. I look forward to seeing all that you have planned for this wonderful gift.
Love you already kid.
Your Great Grand.
