MY Children Are Wonderful
This is a thread in which parents (or grandparents, or aunts, or uncles, etc.) can unabashedly brag about their children. Here, we don't have to hold back our pride just to be polite. And, no one is allowed to say that that child's accomplishment is no big deal. I'll start!
My daughter's gym class is going through a unit on jump-roping. They held a contest to see who could make the most jumps in a row. Most of the kids were making it to 30 or 50. MY daughter, however, made it to 361! There was only one other kid in the school who came close to her, and he was a grade ahead. He made 320.
Blessed be Your name, when the sun's shining down on me, when the world's "all as it should be," blessed be Your name!
Blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering, though there's pain in the offering, blessed be Your name!
Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Blessed be Your name!
