Today our eldest son is seventeen years old: congratulations son! Seventeen is a special age, often described as an awkward or difficult age, and in some ways it can be. I'm not quite sure though what the easy ages are... Your mother and I didn't think you were coming...amazingly short-sighted considering all that have followed since then...but that's the way we felt at the time. I haven't always been to you the father that I should, and I still am not I may say, but I love you very much and I am glad that God sent you to live with us!
May you be blessed of God and very fruitful in your life, may you build in the Kingdom of God to such an extent that the little that I have done appears as nothing, may you walk with the comfort and the simplicity of the Holy Spirit all the days of your life, and may you be a better man than I!
Happy Birthday Son, and many returns of the day...
Happy Birthday!
