Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Max! Wow! Today you're 14! The years are flying by! I remember the day you were born! Grandpa and I were driving down to be with your mom and dad. We had no idea what day we should arrive or what day YOU would arrive! We took our time and even took a little side trip. We finally arrived at what would be your home, only to find no one there and a note taped to the door! "We're in labor and are at the hospital!" Then there were directions on how to get there. We made our way to the hospital and there was your mom and dad, your mom in labor. Our timing was perfect! The baby boy that was born a few hours later was also perfect! Now you're a teenager. I wish we lived closer so we could see you more.
Lord, thank You for Max! He's a fine boy. Please keep Your Hand upon him as he grows. Choices that he makes during these teen years can affect him for the rest of his life. Guide him. Watch over him. Draw him to Yourself.
