I was going back through some of your previous posts and came upon this one. I was moved to tears. Your son is a brilliant writer. <br /><br />It shows how tender hearted his mother is. Only a boy who is loved, guided in the lord, and disciplined grows up to be such an amazing man! I can see such great parenting in his words! You are one lucky mother :)) <br /><br />Thank you Jace for those amazing words.Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214217695583490523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6045390691526021049.post-90273726832373730322010-02-07T20:14:34.540-08:002010-02-07T20:14:34.540-08:00I am so encouraged...there are not many young men ...I am so encouraged...there are not many young men with a heart so full of compassion for those around them.

It's so true what you write. In this part of the world we focus on trivial things rather than the things that make God's heart ache. Just today feeling tired and finding myself moaning about vaccuming I had to stop myself and ask for God's forgiveness because I'm blessed with so much, more than I need, so many of us myself included loose sight of the big picture. Thank you for this post, I will make sure my husband and all my boys read this.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12939551240745198586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6045390691526021049.post-49285788833937362312010-02-05T15:26:09.948-08:002010-02-05T15:26:09.948-08:00Absolutely amazing--soooooo true.
