Aaron’s Birthday

By this time 30 years ago I was a first time father of a beautiful son.  I cannot convey to you the joy that I experienced that morning as I treasured the thoughts in my heart that I had been given a son.  Even today as I meditate on that morning I am filled with the sense that the joy I experienced then is enough to fill a lifetime full of praise to God.  Nothing prepares you to receive love, real love, a love that is physically present constricting your chest and making you hyper aware of your present reality.  I was so aware of Hope, hope in life, a life that was given me, Aaron was mine and that was a gift I have never gotten over.  Who gives a human being as a gift?  Only God can think that present up. 
 “Children are a gift from the Lord, they are a reward from Him.”  Psalms 127:3
My son Aaron and my grandson Bray
