Hey, you all are becoming a family of sorts to me, and I wanted to share something really cool that happened to me today. I received the greatest compliment I could receive.
A lady from my church stopped by my house today. She asked me to pray about something. She's re-writing her will, and said to me, "I wondered if you would do me a big favor and take care of my kids if anything happens to me. I know that you'll love them and raise them in the fear of the Lord. I couldn't think of anyone who I'd feel better leaving them with. You'd make a great dad."
I was totally dumbfounded. I think the most valuable thing on earth would be your kids. I'm nobody special, a single guy in my early thirties. I don't have a lot of money with my occupation. It seems like there are so many people who could provide so much more. It's very humbling.
I think it must be the coolest thing in the world to be a dad, but I've never had my opportunity or found the right gal for me. God forbid anything should happen to make me keep this commitment, but just the thought that someone would entrust me with their own precious kids had me bawling like a baby this afternoon.
Anyway, it's the overwhelming thought in my head. Thanks for giving me a place to express it just now.
