Loving Well

My son already knows this because I've told him so, but I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what a godly young man he's become and what a wise decision he made in his choice for a wife. Like the rest of us, Jon is a sinner in need of redemption. But having received that redemption through faith in Jesus Christ, he has also become very intentional about living out the implications of that redemption. He loves God. He loves his family. He loves his fiance. He loves the Jr. Highers (now that would be amazing grace for most of us) and their parents among whom he is privileged to minister. Jon is learning to love well and is well-loved. Jon chose carefully the woman he will love exclusively for the rest of his life. And his parents couldn't be happier with his choice. (We've already decided that she is, without doubt, going to be our favorite daughter-in-law.)

You know there is something about those daughter-in-laws. Julie and my D-I-L is the best. Also, those son-in-laws are also good. Ours is a little on the Irish side but that is ok by us.
