Loving Taylor
Taylor will be 11 years old next week. I will be in New York City and miss the big day, but I know I will celebrate with him at some time. Taylor is a loving and sensitive kid. He likes quiet and simple things like riding his bike in the neighborhood or playing video games. He struggles with school and his Mom and Dad are getting a divorce. Taylor is our bonus grandson! Our son, Mark married his Mom, Connie when Taylor was just 6, but Mark has loved Taylor like a son from the time he was just 2 and Mark started dating, Connie. Taylor has never known his biological father. Today, Taylor is sad and confused over the break-up of Mark and Connie's marriage. Today, he blames Mark and is very protective of his Mom. Right now he is having trouble trusting that if he comes to visit his Dad that Mark won't take him back to Connie. There are many reasons for his doubt, but not one of them is about the true character of his Dad, Mark. So we pray. We pray that Taylor will figure out the truth. We pray that God will breathe truth into Taylor's life, and that Taylor will not be neglected by Connie. God is a very big God and He knows, far better than we know, what is best for Taylor. So we keep praying.
