I Love This Boy





I Love This Boy I Love This Boy I Love This Boy I Love This Boy
Of course I love them all. But today I just want to yell until I can't anymore that I love my son Zachary. I am so proud of the young man he is becoming. I love our relationship. I am so grateful to God for the priviledge of holding his hand through the beginning of his life. I cherish every phase, every year. He leaves this Sunday to go on a mission trip with his father. My boy is going to New Orleans to help build homes for families who lost theirs in the hurricane.

What a wonderful thing for your husband and son to do. It's encouraging to see young people want to give their time to help others. You have instilled wonderful values in your children... you have every right to proud!!!

Something about seeing those boys turning into young men that "gets me every time." I praise God when I see what He is turning them into - it's a blessing to watch!

That will be a wonderful experience for him and a very bonding time with his dad. I'm sure he will come back a changed young man. What a way to start off seeing that the world is bigger than his life.

Your post made me cry! You must be so proud! I'll be lifting them up in prayer that they are successful in their mission and come home safely.
