God's Goodness

I am sitting at starbucks in the beautiful Sierra Mountains with London (my daughter). This is the last week before school for both my kids so we are enjoying some much needed family time. As I look up at the majestic mountains at "Heavenly" to my right and beautiful Lake Tahoe down below, I can't help but think of how blessed I am.

God has blessed me with a wonderful family, a great church and so many great friends and most of all....I have the wonderful gift of the Holy Ghost. London and I drove through the mountains this morning while Boss and Sheila were still in bed.

These are special moments, next week she enters her senior year of High School and Boston starts his freshmen year of college. As He was registering for class my mind went back to what seems like yesterday, to the day my dad took me to the LSU campus to register me for class (gueax tigers). Where has time gone? This life is so fleeting. We are as the "grass that withereth", so while I am here, I want to recognize the moments of blessing that our wonderful God provides. Nothing is much better than sitting here "saved" in Tahoe, drinking a Sugar-free, vanilla, Breve, latte (de-caff) with my Daughter.

Just Me and Boss

My son is driving! I am now assigned to the front passenger seat whenever we are together. Pray for me that God will keep his hand upon me. I went to bed last night thinking about how quickly time goes by. Life is a vapor. I wondered to myself, "How much longer do my son and I have together...like this?" This has been on my mind quite a bit lately, due to the fact that I am attempting to raise 2 teenagers. I know, for some of you this is old news, you have been there and done that, but for me...what can I say? It seems like the days and weeks just fly by...man its only 10 months until Christmas.

So I have decided, however long I have the opportunity of a son at home, I am going to make it count. We are going hunting, we are reading our Bibles together, we are taking long drives into the mountains, we are making knives (don't tell Sheila that we are wrecking the garage) and we are HAVING A BLAST!

Too all of you that have kids still at home, don't get so busy that you fail to spend the good moments with them. Make a mess, break something, fix something, go somewhere, build something, read something...it won't always be like it is right now while the "cats in the cradle"

I read your blog today about your son driving, and yes we can relate to where you're at. I'm pasting a webpage address for the Darius Rucker song titled "It won't be like this for long", if the link doesn't work, google his name and you should see the you tube version. I've come to the understand that the love for God and His word has to be in our kids' hearts and I pray everyday that this is so.

Keep up the great work, we catch up on your blog frequently.

Music Eloquence said...: Merry Christmas to you guys. We love and miss you very much. I just had a really funny memory... remember in the old church when we had our family Christmas service and a bunch of us were all sitting on the platform. I just remembered that Sis.Wilson was not there (I think she was taking care of Becky) that day so we played the entire service over the speaker phone... and somehow it slipped out that we were eating popcorn in church... using THEIR popcorn machine and making an absolute mess in the entire sanctuary. Remember she FREAKED OUT!!! LOLOL Those are some of the greatest and sweetest memories of home... even if we did have a huge mess to clean up. Keep making those fun memories. Love you all.

PS I love your Christmas pictures.; December 22, 2008 at 2:40 PM

BOSTON'S 16th BIRTHDAY

Boss hamming it up!

Happy Birthday Boston - www.mylesyoung.com

It's 1:30 a.m. and I just got through cleaning up after my son's 16th birthday party. I am feeling really old and sappy as I head off to bed. I spent the entire day with my son, just he and I. I asked him what he wanted to do and he said lets head to the mountains and just ride and listen to old time radio stories on the xm channel. It was a day I will always cherish. How many more of these moments will I have with him? As we wound through the Sierra's today, not saying a word for miles at a time, then laughing at funny things on the radio, then debating about the state of our nation during this election season...I wished the day could last forever. I can't believe "The Boss" is 16 years old. It was a day of days for this old dad. I found myself remembering the many trips with just me and my dad....oh, how much they mean to me now. Boston, I am proud to be your dad and I love you with all my heart. By the way, it started raining on your birthday...looks like ski season is going to be good this year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOSS!
