Verse: Matthew 25:1-13

I. The Definite Destiny (1) 

II. The Defining Difference (2-4, 8-9)

III. The Divine Delay (5-7)

IV. The Dreadful Declaration (10-13)

This season of life has me feeling like we are always running at burnt ends.

I mean, I could blame it on 100 different things.

The lawsuit, career turmoil, job responsibility, life stage, parenting stage, lack of family help, lack of close friends, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, the lack of time in general, and the lack of rest in particular.

Were frazzled and tired.

10-10-10, I know.

But this has been a hard season.

I am so sorry now and then when I am the worst version of myself around you.

No kid deserves that.

You are one of the great joys of my life.

I love you.

-Dad

H and K, I wanted to note that this has been y’all first truly free summer.

Sure you have had VBS, cheer camp, church camp, or what have you, here and there…

But there is no mandatory place to be by 8 AM every morning so Mom and Dad can get to work on time.

T, you have been going to TAS still, but you have even stayed home quite a bit.

The morning starts with a little bit better pace.

Y’all get to be lazy.

It’s been nice.

I hope our summers get even lazier and lazier as these years go by.

I love you.

-Dad
