I Have No Greater Joy

I am so very thankful to the Lord for His grace upon my son Daniel! I don't think a greater joy can be found on earth than to see our children walk with God. I read this on his blog today:

"Life Ticks DownI am almost done my first semester, but it doesn't even seem real. I still feel like I'm gonna wake up one day back in my house in Maryland and realize that I've been twelve years old this whole time. Am I really a college student? Does life really go this fast? Crazy. And who knows what lies ahead? But I'm gonna make sure I serve God with my life, cause I don't wanna waste my days. What is your will for me? I just wanna trust and believe, cause I really have no other choice. I've always thought or life as one big day in which we take many naps and grow and learn. It's like a video game with a mission. We're all going to reach the end sooner than we know. I just wanna make sure that my mission gives God glory, so that when Game Over comes, I'll hear the "well done good and faithful servant" and enter into rich rewards, seeing family members and friends who I led to salvation there. I know that Christ has already won my salvation for me, but I wanna know this even more, and be compelled to live everyday not considering my life of any worth apart from serving him. I wanna sacrifice my soul, body, work, tongue. Make me like Christ!"

(Daniel is joining our church this Sunday as an official adult member :)

My prayer is that my sons will echo Daniel's thoughts here.
I'm so glad you are blogging! It may keep us in better touch w/ one another.
I will try to email soon as there will probably not be an Almengor Christmas letter yet again this year.
Maybe next year I'll have my act together, but don't hold your breath! :)

Love you and miss you, friend.
