Last night my 8Th grade son, went to the high school to find out what classes he would like to take his freshman year. Our second born is vastly different than his older brother. But he has some similar traits; both of our sons knew what they were going to take before that meeting at the high school.
Our youngest son is taking some of the same classes his brother did, but he is taking classes that are uniquely suited to him. He wants to be a sports "something". He isn't quite certain if it is a sports reporter, broadcaster, physical therapist (not sure if that is still in the running), but he will be involved in sports.
He loves sports; playing, watching and fact gathering. You can ask him just about anything regarding sports and he will know it.
While much of his future is still unknown, he still has an idea of where his path is going to lead. It is much like our lives in Christ. We know where we are going, just not all the details regarding our path going there. We know that we will be going to heaven, but the path leading us here is sometimes difficult, lonely, full of hurt and blessed, comforting and full of grace.
As I sit here thinking about this son who has his whole high school career before him; I am filled with pride and love for him now and what he can be. I imagine God feels the same way about me. Filled with love and pride of what I have accomplished with his guidance.
May our travels be filled with love, grace and mercy.
