My daughter is here tonight. That makes this a very good day. I have so much fun with her and I am so proud of her. She is growing into a wonderful young woman. She is truly growing into her name, “Joy”. She certainly brings joy to me. But then I am a proud momma and fairly prejudiced.
She is a math major with outstanding grades. I tested in the top 25% in my math grades and math is an integral part of my job, but I have to tell you that the math I know bears no resemblance to the work that she is doing in college. She will tell me about something and I will just go “huh?” It is hard for me to even realize that it is actually math they are talking about. Recently she was accepted at University of Oregon. She will begin there in the fall as a sophomore. I will really miss her when she moves to Eugene. I am planning to make the most of the time we have together before she leaves.
I have always felt that Joy was a special gift to me. I adopted her when she was just 5 days old. Over the years as she has grown and developed I have been so grateful for the time I have had as her mother.

I am fortunate to be a mother, blessed to have been entrusted children to love and care for. I look forward to discovering who my children will grow into as adults. I will continue to pray that God will guide them, bless them abundantly and they will walk in grace and knowledge all the days of the lives.
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 3:18
The gift of Joy is one that I can never repay, but I can pray faithfully for her. I can also live my life freely, joyfully and lovingly in Christ. I guess that is a gift I can give her every day.
