4 Months and Famous?

An Our365 email  popped up this morning.  Henry is 19 weeks old... 4 months 1 week and 5 days...
Though it feels like he's been a part of our family forever.

This weeks Our365 email was rather....stupid.  It was about if Henry has what it takes to be famous or not.
First off, it only made me think right away of his limitations...but then I remembered Teddy Kremer and I realized that Henry will have all kinds of opportunities in life...maybe different ones than Charlie and Wesley, but still his very own, neat opportunities.  God must have some purpose for Henry, otherwise He would have made him with 46 chromosomes like the rest of us in this family.  But secondly, what is so great about being famous that I should see if my 4 month old has what it takes to deliver???  Um, doesn't the Bible say not to strive for fame?

Sure, I pray about the business opportunities we have.  I pray for prosperity, absolutely.  I pray for wisdom and for direction and I pray for God to show us those that need our help.  Missionaries, those who just need that stepping stone to get to a better spot in life, and those that have never been helped before...but are praying God sends someone to rescue them.

I want to be a wife, woman, and mother that hears her Lord's voice and obeys.

I want nothing more for God to say, "I'll give this task to Kelly; for I know she will obey..."

I want God to smile at me.  I want Him to know how much I love Him...and how much I want to raise Heroes for Him and not boys that will do anything for a Hollywood shout out.

I want sons that girls' moms say "Pray about that boy Suzie...he sings and plays instruments for the Lord, he always attends church, he helps out when needed, he has a servants heart, he reads his bible...and he has really godly parents!"

My sons don't need fame when they have Jesus.  If Jesus is pleased with them, then all is right in the world.  He will bless them in ways Hollywood could never fathom.  With real love.  Real hope.  Real joy.  Real riches...They may have their own little family who loves them, maybe children one day, and for Henry, well, God's got something really cool planned for him! He'll be one fantastic uncle! My future grandchildren have no idea how much they're going to love Uncle Hanky-Pank!!

I may just print this out and stick it in my Joy Journal for when it comes to pass...so I can say to Henry, "See!!! Mommy knew it would happen for you! Mommy knew you were born for something very neat and that only you could do!"

It's no secret that I love my sons.

Charlie is Mr. Personailty.  fun-loving, happy-go-lucky, and super smart!  He loves saying hi to people, asking what their first and middle names are and needs to know what everyone is doing. He loves anything silly and funny and he loves cooking and making crafts.  He remembers everything you say and every car someone drives.  He was the absolute perfect first-baby.  He's got beautiful eyes and lips and hair.  He's got such an outgoing personality that draws people to him.  He can get in trouble too...he says the darnedest things sometimes...he is all boy!

Wesley is everything sweet, adorable, and tender heart-ed.  He's easily hurt...and easily loved.  He used to be my Master of Disaster but now he is more like my Adventurous Blessing. He still gets into stuff...mostly he gets into trouble, but he is the first one to hug me, the first one to kiss me, the first to crawl into my lap and cuddle.  His smile will make your heart gush...his puffy pink lips are so cute I just could kiss them off his face.  His eyes can have the "puppy dog" effect and make you give him anything he wants. I love his fluffy hair that bounces when he runs and his cowlick in front that makes his hair stick up and to the left. :) He's all around cuteness with a kick.  I see him rebuilding engines with Daddy for that fast car.

Henry is already loved by everyone.  He has a smile and laugh that melts hearts.  He's simply adorable!  I couldn't have asked for a better baby.  Sometimes we see the yellow raincoat...sometimes we don't...But we always see Henry!

I don't want fame for my boys...but I do want them to leave a legacy behind for God...
Who knows what the future holds...
