Last night I took Caleb to Disney Land; just the 2 of us. It was crowded, but the crowds didn't matter. We waited in line for 86 minutes to ride Space Mountain! But the wait didn't matter. None of that mattered because we were hanging out together. Caleb repeatedly told me that he was "so happy that I was his dad". It's hard to even wish for moments that great. But, they happened all night long.
I learned last night that no matter what he says at times, he wants to be with me. I learned that it is a necessity to shut out ministry and responsibility to invest in my kids. I learned that it's not about Disney Land or how much $$ I can spend on him, but it's about an ongoing relationship time together; quality AND quantity.
I learned all of this from a 9 year old boy and a mouse. The price of admission was definitely worth it last night.

What a wonderful testimony to your parenting, Jeff. Those kids are just so darned lucky to have the parents they have. :-)
God has given you blessings for children. They are so fortunate to have parents like you and Jodie...
