Another Birthday

My middle son's name is Stephen and today is his 19th birthday. Stephen is just precious!

Now I realize that as a 19 year old young man, precious is probably not the first adjective you would want used to describe you. Perhaps handsome, intelligent, witty, fun, athletic, hard-working, friendly, crazy, kind, generous, compassionate... Stephen is all of that and more, but I'm the mom and this is my blog and I say he's precious.

Pre.cious [pre sh es] - adjective 1. of great value; not to be wasted or treated carelessly. 2. greatly loved or treasured by someone.

See, I'm right! Those of you who know him will have to agree. Stephen is of great value. That's how God created him... full of strength, character and potential to be and do great things. I think we've only just begun to see the awesomeness that is Stephen.

So, Stephen, my prayer for you today and every day is that you will know that you are greatly loved and treasured. You are precious!
