Colin

So it was last night after a loooong day I thought I needed to reflect on Colin and all the wonderfully good things about him. I never really did so adequately for his birthday so I thought I would post now after another really looooong day:) Since we have been spending so much time together in our bathroom (Actually I was interrupted from this post to join my bathroom buddy again) that taking time to acknowledge all the great things the Lord has given me in Colin would probably do us both some good. Some things that I am thankful for... 1. Colin has a very compassionate heart for those who are less fortunate, from a very young age he was willing to give toys away, save money and buy things for them at Christmas time, and often asks about children in other countries. 2. He is a life saver to Lauren, literally. 3. He loves to entertain both his younger sisters and they love to have him entertain them. 4. He still gives me hugs and doesn't wipe off my kisses. 5. I love that he lets me play with his floppy ears. 6. That he is opened about asking questions about Christ and heaven. 7. That he is learning to play guitar. 8. Once he starts serving he begins to enjoy it. 9. He desires to be around his family. 10. What God is going to do for him, through him, and with him. Colin, Happy 7th Birthday! I love you!
