Three sets of hands representing three generations.
On Sunday the hands of my father holding the watch will be 99. We asked him if he would be shooting for 100 and he shook his head saying, "That's a long time." We have added a fourth set of hands two years ago with Haakon being born on Amy and Justin's wedding anniversary. We are blessed and give thanks for the many days we have shared as a family. Mom and Dad have been there for the joys and sorrows we've had. Time does not wait for anyone. We are to be fruitful in our time and a blessing to others. My folks have been just that in our lives.
Rejoice* in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.* 5Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. 6Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:4-7
Happy Birthday Dad!
