First born sons



Thanksgiving #3

Thanking God for my children, but early this morning was struck with immense gratitude for my eldest, as he readied himself for school.  As I helped him pack a healthy snack, he  observed me in the kitchen and remarked, “I can tell how much you love me,” and then he smiled at me with that kind of smile he does when he’s filled, I mean really filled.  Well that just filled me, and I’m the one who’s still smiling, even after he’s been gone for a few hours.  Oh, I’m grateful for first born sons.
