It is amazing how my outlook on life has already changed so drastically in the past week. Suddenly, I have this overwhelming sense of duty to my family and their well-being. I have so much pride in my son and he hasn't even spoken a word yet. I am willing to do anything to make him happy. I guess it is that unconditional "father's love" that I have heard people talk about, but never fully understood. I have decided that the only way to understand that "love" is to become a father. Mary Beth and I are so blessed to have such an amazing gift from God and we will strive to raise Parker (with all of your help) in a way that is pleasing to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. After all, the greatest display of love was God's love for us when he sent his son as a living sacrifice. Only now, can I fully understand the sacrifice that He made in doing such a thing. Becoming a father will undoubtedly strengthen my faith and my trust in God because ultimately God is in control of Parker's life-not me or Mary Beth. I just need to realize that. It doesn't matter to me whether Parker becomes a sports star or rich or famous. I just want him to be a good person who cares for other people and who trusts the Lord. It sounds simple, but I have no idea how to do it. But hey, I didn't call my blog "The Adventure Called Life" for nothing. :) Here's to new adventures with Parker. Cheers!
