Robbie,
As I look at your third grade class picture at Etna Road
Elementary, I see your bright smile and those innocent eyes, and wonder what I
could tell you about your future that would make sense to you at this age.
I would want you to know that your life will be filled
with both triumphs and challenges. People you love will leave you for Heaven. The
older you get the more frequently this will happen. The emotional pain will
hurt horribly, but your faith will see you safely though to the other side.
Your life experiences will turn you into a unique man
that sees your world differently than many others will. You will grow up to
have many different passions that will overfill your soul with joy. God will be
with you along your journey to direct you in how He needs you to go. Listen to
Him.
As for your immediate family, dogs will be a part of
that. You will meet your wife through work. Treat her with love as she is the
strong individual you will need. Your one child (a daughter) will be a lot like
you in personality. The potential in her is amazing.
I hope none of what I’ve told you will cause you
confusion or fear. You are loved so much by your heavenly Father. Your future
is what the two of you make it out to be together. God be with you always.
Robert
I alone know the plans I have for you,
plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future
you hope for.
