why I'm proud of my son

I'm proud of my son...
He dropped a class today. He was disappointed but he realized that it would be better than failing the class and that he could concentrate more on his other classes and his passions.

He has a sane estimate of his capabilities.

I'm proud of my son..
because he's honest with me and asks my advice and he listens, really listens and then he makes his own decision.

I'm proud of my son...
because he values actions over accolades.
He sees that getting 'credit' for doing something isn't the reward, it's in the doing.

I'm proud of my son...
because he loves, really loves his friends, his family, the kids, he ministers to, his band members, even people he doesn't really know. He's a giving leader, he takes his commitments as commitments, and sees people as more important than grades or which college he goes to.
I love the way, he cares for his siblings and me and well, everyone.
He laughs a lot and shares his joy. He blesses my soul.

Thank you, God for my son. Let Him feel Your Love today, deep down and all around. Amen.
