Honoring My Kids

There's comes a time in a daddy's heart that all he wants to do his hold his children close to him. As I think of each of my children I'm reminded that they are precious gifts from God.

My first born, Freddy, was given to his mother and me to help us learn what it means to be parents. I gave him my name Fred, which means peacemaker, with the prayer that one day he would take with him through his life the qualities of peace. Those qualities are that of loving and understanding others, willing to give of himself to help others find their way, and of being willing to sacrifice for others that they would come to know the prince of peace, our Lord Jesus Christ. Our prayers have been answered and the Lord is to be praised. Thank you Freddy for being the man God wants you to be.


Isaac, which means laughter, has truly brought joy to this daddy's life. How proud I am to watch him live out his life with the determination of honoring God and loving his family.The Lord has given Isaac a quick mind and a quick wit.Thank you Isaac for bringing joy and laughter to our family and to the world.

Annie, "my liitle girl," draws deep love from this daddy's heart. She has always displayed a love and compassion for others. Her beautiful smile and her loving spirit are evident to all. Thank you Annie for being like sunshine, bringing light and warmth to all around you.

I'd love to go through all those pics someday. Maybe Mom'll have to scrap them. Make sure she has this when she does.
