What a day I had yesterday (and today).....It was somehow able to meteorically shoot into one of the top FIVE days of my life! That's really saying a lot when this was the 19,126th day I've been alive. (Come on, that's not that old...it just seems like it when you start seeing those five digit numbers......)
Okay, let's think. What could possibly happen during a day that would make it one of the top five days of someone's life?
Yes, birth is a good start -- 10/9/1955..... that's ONE. My spiritual RE-birth is another, the day I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior and Lord -- 4/13/1963..... that's TWO. The day I married my beautiful wife -- 8/6/1977..... that's THREE (you thought I forgot, didn't you). The day my incredibly gorgeous daughter was born -- 7/22/1983..... AND yesterday, the day I was able to hold Alison Nicole Earwood..... my 4 hour old, new born granddaughter. It doesn't get any better than that. I could have stared and stroked and cuddled and whispered to her ALL day long....
Karen and I have been praying for her long before she entered this world. And we knew she'd be special to us. BUT, until we got to see her and hold her, we really couldn't explain just how special we anticipate she is going to be in our lives...... We are so excited to have her a part of the family. We will count it a priviledge and humble honor to be able to impart any knowledge, wisdom or character we can into that incredible life. We believe the Lord has unfathomable greatness for that girl.
She has already stolen my heart, and I'm sure, very soon my pocket book and everything else I own..... This is going to add a whole new dimension to our lives, and we are excited! So, thank you Ashley and Paul for making this one of the best days of my life. I'll never forget it.
Paul, for once I forgive you for not listening to what I've told you to do. You know I warned you about never "touching" my daughter. You obviously ignored me.... but I guess I can live with it.... and maybe we can renegotiate for about 3 or 4 more of these unforgettable days......
Bring on 19,127......
