Afternoon Musings

I have to say it is quite a blessing (or maybe a mixed blessing) that Brooke loves to ride in her jogging stroller since that doesn't give me any excuse for slacking on my running. So on our run yesterday I began wondering if Brooke will be a runner or a golfer or a pianist . . . and then I thought back to something shared in Bible study this week. My sister shared that another parent was praying for their child and they prayed that their child would have a profound relationship with God. This really struck me because it's easy to pray that your child will be healthy or intelligent or athletic or a blessing to others or that they won't fall on hard times . . . but really all of those things are insignificant! So I pray that our little Brooke will love and follow God (and I will try not to be disappointed if she doesn't like to run . . . and her daddy will try not to be disappointed if she doesn't like golf)!
