Joy that comes from teaching what's important by the way you live in front of your children...
Joy that comes from having the time to play and even include your little ones in your day to day "work". Being able to move a herd of cows (or a herd of numbers when the accounting is being "moved") across the road... then stopping to pick up one who wants to "ride with my dad!". He wants to be just like you... he says it all the time.... "me and my dad!". What a tribute!
Joy that comes from knowing that your most valuable assets are not held in any bank, vault or stock market security, but in your very own hands. Your family knows that after God, they are first in your life and your choices! They know it not because you say it, but because you show it.
and Joy that comes from knowing that you've spent yourself on worthy pursuits chosen by the priorities of Heaven not of earth....
I'm glad God chose you for our Ellena.... you complete her, and you've made our lives so very much more by your presence. We love you Will.... and we are proud of you!
Happy birthday!!!!!! (cheesecake is in the frig!)
