I was just listening to Aaron and the boys playing cricket outside. Malakai was given a cricket set for his birthday and we've all been playing a lot of cricket ever since (yep, even me!).
Listening to them all playing outside made me think of the wonderful blessing a father can be. I really can't explain how grateful I am for Aaron. He's such a good father. He understands the importance of training our children to obey, and is consistent and diligent in bringing them to that standard. He loves them so much, and tells them that every day. He makes up cool stories for Josh at bedtime, sings and dances with Malakai, kisses Princess Ella and much, much more.
God truly has blessed me beyond my wildest imagination. According to statistics I shouldn't have married someone like Aaron. But statistics don't matter to God. He intervened in my life and made ALL the difference.
I have two happy memories of my father. One is when I was very little and joined him while he was gardening one day, he was impressed that I pulled out a weed instead of a plant. Another time I was up a tree with my brother and cousin and we were lighting matches (!) the tree caught on fire and the other 2 just jumped out of the tree. I couldn't get down and I looked out to see my dad running toward the tree to rescue me.
I hold on to those 2 memories and thank God for them.
But more important to me now is the legacy that Aaron is building into our children.
God is good.
