Our youngest daughter has always been the reserved one. Her older brother and sister have been the actors/singers in the family. From an early age, Sadie has been quieter, less inclined to the spotlight, and nowhere near as “look at me!” oriented.
That changed this week.
Sadie’s school put on a Tribute to America show, full of patriotic anthems, readings, and poetry. I videotaped the whole shebang, if you want to watch, but you can take my word for it–there’s another performer in the Sublett household. Sadie was all smiles today. She sang with gusto, and loved every minute of the show. To top it off, she got to close the gig with a great big “Thank you for coming to our show!”
I love watching my kids grow up. There have been good changes, hormonal changes, bad changes…if you’ve had the opportunity to watch kids mature, you know what I mean. You may remember some of the morphology that you’ve experienced.
The change that I am looking for the most, however, is when our family faith becomes the faith of my kids. They know all the right words, and would say they believe the same things that Kim and I hold to. But the day is coming, I just know it, when they embrace the faith in God that Kim and I have, and call it their own.
And that, my friends, is going to be a banner day at the Sublett ranch!
Do you remember when your faith became your own? Take a minute to remember, to reflect, to thank God for the transformation that you’ve seen in your own life. If you feel inspired, drop a comment and share a bit of your story.
