Peace Without End; Day1827-Stent-#1

6This will happen when the special child is born. God will give us a son who will be responsible for leading the people. His name will be “Wonderful Counselor, Powerful God, Father Who Lives Forever, Prince of Peace.”

7His power will continue to grow, and there will be peace without end. This will establish him as the king sitting on David’s throne and ruling his kingdom. He will rule with goodness and justice forever and ever. The strong love that the Lord All-Powerful has for his people will make this happen!
Isaiah 9:1-7

New Car Insurance Premium Per 6 Months

image

Today was a small victory for us but in a broader view, having a driver’s license is actually a big deal.  Let me count the ways:
The Positive
1. I don’t have to drive him to school or pick him up.
2. He can do his own errands now or mine.
3. He starts his deeper independence training-being responsible for his own safety.
4. I don’t have to stay late at night waiting for him to be picked up from a friends house.
5. His freedom to do anything expands.

The Negative:
1. Insurance cost went up by almost $1000.00/year
2. Need for car #4
3. A slight anxiety of his whereabouts.
4. Me an my wife will now start thinking about“empty nest”. Today is the beginning of it.
5. My time with him will be less.  He won’t need me anymore.

Kids grows really fast and that is why as a parent, we ought to spend more time with them at any moment when they are available.  I have no regrets in the way I raised them and I know that from their hearts, they know we did everything for them.  To Brent and Brittney, you will always be in my heart.

Even if you guys are grown up now, this video always reminds me of how cute you were.

Giver; Day538; 3 Years of [Abundant] Life

He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?  Rom 8:32

I’ve mentioned this before that life is sweeter when you know that your time here on earth is very limited.  I don’t look forward more than a day in my life nowadays.  When I wake up in the morning, it is a celebration of life filled with excitement of what else in my life there is to do.  I wish I can share that to everyone – the joy of abundant life.  When people think that they have plenty of time, they think that they have another chance on the next day or the next week or the next year.  Life is indeed sweeter when you know that the end is near. My left chest still sometimes show pain and when that happens, I know that there is something in there that is about to become a tragedy.  Nothing I can do for now except to live life to the full.  Take one day at a time and do the best I can for the day and then on the next day, look for another day to come.  What an exciting life!
