Birthday Thoughts
It's my niece's birthday today.I remember when she was born. I remember the first time I saw her. I remember the first time I took care of her. I remember the first time she cracked me up. I remember the first time she impressed me. I remember the first time I heard her talk. I remember the first time I heard her play the horn. I remember the first time I heard her sing.
On Sunday, I looked up on the stage during our morning worship and saw a beautiful young lady. I've thought this before, but wow was it true this day. I pity the dudes in Texas. I'm serious. I pity 'em. And when she broke out in song...in her song...I pitied 'em all the more.
She is going to do great things. Children flock to her. I see so much of Jesus in her when they surround her the way they do. She is bright and talented and beautiful. I know I mentioned that already but, hey, uncle's prerogative. Her mom and dad and brother have done a great job bringing her up. I hope I've helped.
Happy Birthday, Ash. I love you.

I agree with meowmix...
My children are beautiful and talented and Godly not because lex and I are such amazing parents, but because of the community of people they've had as examples throughout their lives. You are a precious Uncle (and Lisa is a wonderful aunt) and you both have helped mold them to the people they are.
I love to see that kind of love, joy and pride in the children of brothers and sisters. I have never met your niece, who sounds wonderful, but enjoyed the post just for the expression.
Happy birthday from the right coast.
Is she back in Fresno again? You are so lucky.
When we look at the children it is hard to think of them as future leaders, but they are.
