HAPPY B-DAY TO MY BABY!

Well my baby boy is turning 4 years old tomorrow the 24th. Seems like just yesterday I was giving birth and cuddling a little bundle of joy. Now he is Mr independent. He is spiderman, superman, big boy and Best friends to Buddy our golden retriever. He is hyper, loud and all boy. He is sweet, mean, mischievous and DID I SAY LOUD!
He wants a spider man bike and superman cake. So, thats what he is getting.
He has been my child of challenges. I tell everyone if I would have had him first I would have REALLY thought about having other kids!ha He will be a very determined and strong willed adult. Those qualities are going to be great for him when he reached puberty. But, now they are very...shall I say difficult! But, I wouldn't change him for a minute. He is, like my other kids, the love of my life.
In the bible it tells how Abraham was told by the Lord to sacrifice his oldest son for God. Abraham being the loyal servant he was took a few of his men and his son to the Forrest and prepared for this event. Of course Abraham and the Lord were the only ones to know of this task. I always wonder what was going on in Abraham's mind through this. Once they arrived in the Forrest he told the men to stay there and worship and pray. He and Isaac went into the deep wood and he told Isaac to prepare wood and a fire for the burnt offering. Isaac asked were is the Lamb to offer? Not knowing what was about to really happen. Abraham said go and the Lord will take care of us. So he prepared to KILL his son and God said STOP! You obeyed me and I will now reward you for the rest of your days. And he did! abundantly.
Now could you imagine having to make this decision? Because we would take our own lives for our kiddos.
Just thought I would share that story - It just amazes me that God did that for us with his only son! Thats how much he loves us.
