I don't think maturity or respect is something you gain from reaching a certain age. Wine ages and tastes good because it gets to where it tastes good and matured. I don't know about numbers. I go by the taste. I've watched these two and they're still being worked on in the wine rack. In fact they need a little cheese with that whine. What have you done for me lately?
Lori and I and God put good stuff in our kids. We set the body in motion. God provides the soul and the spirit and keeps the body ticking. Sam and Charlotte have to steer the ship and make choices. What they choose has been different for each of them. I'm still observing. I will always care what they do. I want to be proud of them, for them to represent the Harris family well and God.
When babies are born you don't know how they're going to end up looking because they're funny looking. I still don't know how Sam and Charlotte will end up looking.
You can tell they are Harrises. They are tough. Bull headed. Creative. Independent. But will they follow Jesus in all things? I hope so. I'm still praying for them. Every day.
Sam and Charlotte, you've got a long way to go. We've been most of the way ourselves. We'd like to help you from what we've learned. Give us a chance.
Congratulations on staying in this world 21 years. Its been a funky ride. Not everybody gets twins. I've enjoyed it. It was cool. Where will you be in another 21 years? May I say with Jesus,
'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' Matt. 25:23
Love Dad (Alan Harris)
