Reflecting on this past weekend, here are my personal observations of four different parents, all in four very different situations.
.
Last Friday: Patti and I sat by Carlotta Jones and watched her and Chris’ two children star in the play, Seussical the Musical! Great job Christopher Jr. and Sharnice! What talent!
.
Last Saturday: I traveled into Philadelphia and sat by the hospital bedside of a young lady who had been hit by a car while riding her bicycle in downtown Philly; she remains in a coma. I talked and prayed with her mother who resides with her husband in Indiana. God, please heal Alice Hershey!
.
Last Sunday: Patti and I witnessed the wedding of Courtney Wilson and Joe Pollard. I watched Ray walk his daughter down the aisle and caught a glimpse of Bonnie’s radiant face as Courtney’s mother. Congratulations, Joe and Courtney!
.
Yesterday: I cried by the bedside of my daughter, Jessica, who has endured migraine headaches almost 24/7 since she was 12 years old. Her 26th birthday is today and her last few months have been the worst ever. God, please heal our Jess!

Parenting can be so exhilarating, excruciating, enchanting, and exhausting! Parenting is more than joy & sorrow, celebrations & hard work; it is a lifetime commitment, but N. C. I. S. (No Chance I’d Switch) with any other role in the universe! I’ve learned so much about life as a parent and so much about parenting as a life. See Luke 15:11-32! GIGATT!
