This is something Krystopher wrote a couple of weeks ago about peanut. It touched me and so I wanted to repost it on the blog for ya'll to enjoy....
So i was thinking about my kid the other night. i was lying next to my wife and just thinking about the future ahead of us. one part of me is absolutely terrified, but most is really excited. the beautiful thing about this is that my kid is going to reveal something to humanity that only he or she can. There is going to be a part of God's personality and character that is revealed in my child that has never been seen before and will never be seen again. That freaks me out. Our infinite God will show us a part of himself in my finite child. There will be a statement made that is truly unique, a creation that is truly new, and a person that has never existed before. I was joyfully thinking about this for a few days and then the other shoe fell. How many people have i quickly judged and passed off as not worth knowing? If these things are true for my child why not someone else's child? How many frat guys or whatever social label that we place on people have i passed buy and thought nothing of, or even mocked? By not loving them in my heart and giving them a chance, i have cheapened my view of christ and lessened the body. Every single person on this campus shows a beautiful part of God and the Church is hurting without them. I don't know if any of this makes any sense, but i know that i need to repent and return to my first love. So, thank you my child, eventhough your heart just started beating, the thought of you, has set mine ablaze once again. thank you jesus.
