Just saying hello / Mar 13, 03:13 PM
As usual I have waited a long time to do another blog entry. I think part of the reason is I always feel I need to write something really thought provoking. It is nice when I can, but sometimes you just need to say hello and give a little update. So here is a nice little update.
Zen and I are doing well. With the warmer weather starting in Georgia our neighborhood becomes more and more busy with children playing outside. We have met many of these children and their families. It is amazing how quickly you can become part of a community when you just take the time to care for some kids. I remember my father telling me that one of the greatest gifts of being a father was after having a rough day at work coming home and your children running to greet you as you are getting out of your car with excited hellos and big hugs. Lately I have been able to get a glimpse of what it is like. When I get off the bus after a long day and long commute home I come walking through the apartment complex and if the kids spot me or anyone else from our house they come running. They start yelling your name and greet you with big smiles and hugs. They are so happy to see you when all you have done is just come home. That kind of love is so sweet because the reason they are so happy to see you is deep down they know you care for them and love them and they are so happy you are there. Though they can not express their feelings with words their affection and love speak volumes. I am so thankful that God has given me these moments and I pray that just like how those children embrace me for just being present I hope that I to can embrace my heavenly father the same way because He is always there and will never stop loving me.
I hope everyone out there is doing well and please don’t forget you can always leave a comment on our blog. It doesn’t have to be anything special just say hello.
Nate
