First of all let me say today is Hayden's birthday. He's 7 years old and I can still remember looking at him in the hospital in his little "plastic tub". He was the cutiest thing I had ever seen and I called handsome Hayden. The "black tar" poop did freak me out though since I was a knew dad. I always new time would go by fast I just never thought it would go by this fast.
I look at him now and pray he keeps the tender heart he has. That somehow he will be protected from all the evil & ugliness in our world. That rather than choosing a self-serving path he chooses a God-serving path. This path of living in the way of Jesus instead of the way of our culture & world. And Jesus' aim was to serve & honor & glorify his Father. This I pray is the path he chooses for himself.
And I'm confronted with the question, "who is the greatest influence in his life?" Who is he looking to & learning from about this path? Not just what the path is but what it means in all honesty to walk it everyday wholeheartedly.
Whether it's right or wrong one of my motivations to journey with God is simply so he too will journey with him. We all leave a legacy with someone and I know I will leave one with all my boys -I pray it's one that gives them a reason to live that is worth dying for.
