August 15, 2006 @ 9:55 pm | Filed under: Family

(My prayer for Nathan as he leaves home.)

1. Thou shalt be happy.

2. Thou shalt use thy talents to make others glad.

3. Thou shalt rise above defeat and trouble.

4. Thou shalt look upon each day as a new day.

5. Thou shalt always do thy best and leave the rest to God.

6. Thou shalt not waste thy time and energy in useless worry.

7. Thou shalt look only on the bright side of life.

8. Thou shalt not be afraid of tomorrow.

9. Thou shalt have a kind word and a kind deed for everyone.

10. Thou shalt say each morning — I am a child of God and nothing can hurt me.

    Wow, the day is just about upon you. I am so proud of you both! Tomorrow will be an emotional day, but God will be right in your midst. Just as we never outgrow our heavenly Father, Nate will not outgrow you. Rest assure Nate is in His hands and just a phone call or a few hours down the road. Oh yeah, I have a feeling it won’t be too long before you cook his favorite dinner for him while doing a few loads of his laundry!

Life is a marvelous journey, and I hope to show you glimpses right here!
