The Measure Of Significance

“Some have entertained angels unawares.”  (Hebrews 13:2, KJV).

My Musings – There would be no graduation celebrations. No major birthday milestones after his first, as he never lived to see double digits. No coaxing him to take those first few steps. No teaching him to ride a bike or drive a car. No playing catch with dad or baking cookies with mom. No petty fights his brother Joel over what television shows to watch or toys to play with. No Cub Scout meetings, father son campouts or pinewood derbies. No first dates. No coming to mom or dad for advice. No visits to see which college he would attend. No awards to hang on the wall.

And yet there are so many other memories that are indelibly inked into our mind. So much of our own character development we owe to having been privileged to care for him.
