• psalm91believer said something that really spoke to me.  (Click on the site – there is a great cartoon.)  The comment was to savor every moment with your children, they grow up so fast.  Kid’s are a gift from God.  I have to grateful when the gift is ungrateful.  I remember a story of a Father that brought his young son to work with him one day.  The Dad was a extension bridge operator.  He had to bring the bridge down at a certain time in order for the train to pass by.  The son was playing and drifted away from his Dad.  It was almost time for the bridge to be lowered when the Dad began to look for his son.  The little boy had climbed down onto the gears.  Terror registered on the Father’s face.  There wasn’t time for the Dad to rescue his son.  He had to make a split decision.  Save his son or the hundreds of people on the train.  With a heavy heart  Dad lowered the bridge crushing his son.   As the train passed the Dad screamed in his heart towards the unknowing people.  ”My son died, don’t you care?”     God the Father gave his son, how grateful are we of that today?
