Josiah left on Wednesday, and Aleen flew out on Friday to be with him.
My wife and daughter Shannon and I had responsibility for the grands,
Caleb (age 3) and Sam (18 months).
Aleen left a note for the boys on the white board on their refrigerator.
I took a picture because I wanted to remember it.
Two lines to remember:
(1) "Daddy and Momma always come back."
(2) "I love you and you are my masterpieces."
At bedtime Aleen sings to the boys,
and one of their songs is "Masterpiece"
(sung by Sandy Patty over 20 years ago):
"Before you had a name or opened up your eyes,
Or anyone could recognize your face.
You were being formed so delicate in size
Secluded in God’s safe and hidden place.
With your little tiny hands and little tiny feet
And little eyes that shimmer like a pearl.
He breathed in you a song and to make it all complete
He brought the masterpiece into the world.
You are a masterpiece, a new creation He has formed
And you're as soft and fresh as a snowy winter morn
And I'm so glad that God has given you to me
Little lamb of God, you are a masterpiece..."
