Last Thought -- 'til Next Time


Alexa,

I put you and Nani on the MegaBus two days ago headed for Kansas City. You spent three days with us all by yourself. This was the first time you have done that!!!

My hope for the next year of your life, and for your whole life, is that it will be filled with "first times." I hope yours is a life of adventures and opportunities that will allow you to see and experience this incredible world that God has created.

Don't back down or shy away from the "first times" that come your way. Some may be a little scary, and some may even be boring. But jump in!!!

It may be the chance to go to a new place, try a new food, read a new book, meet a new person. Whatever it is, be watching for the chance to do something for the first time.

I trust that God will be the one (along with your mom and dad) that will be keeping an eye on the "first times" that come your way. There is a lot of evil in this world, but He (and they) will be there with you to help you see and know the difference between the good opportunities and the bad. Trust them.

And when they give you the go ahead, the green light, the thumbs up, then jump in! Experience and enjoy life to the full.
