Brag Day on my Son!!!


I know all MOM's love their son's and think they are absolutely the greatest, but my son has this incredible knack of just melting my heart just when I need to see the goodness in people! Chase, my son, always puts others before him. I think that it is a trait that he inherited from my Daddy. Chase is one of those people that we would describe as the person that would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.

The one thing that I have really admired about Chase was the love he has for his little sister, Whitney. I have ALWAYS trusted Chase to make the best decisions for Whitney when her daddy and I were not around. He's that parent type.

I guess you are wondering why I am taking today to "brag"...... Well Whitney needed a guest speaker for one of her classes at Auburn University....... Chase lovingly was there when she needed him. Even though Chase's degree is in Biology, he is a genius when it comes to computer stuff. That's what she needed and he was there. She was so excited after class, calling us and telling us that her group received 65 out of 50 points. (15 extra because it was so good)

The next day she called and she had her report from her professor that said Chase should consider becoming a professor himself. Chase is a great teacher because he wants to share his best with everyone.

I am so proud of my son..... Would it not be great if everyone morning we woke up and gave God our best, serving and loving others? Would our world be different if we desired to live the life that was given to us as an example to live, that of Jesus Christ? What if we just took a few minutes each day to do something special for someone else? Could we see love and joy spread?

I know Chase is going to be an incredible husband to Jackie and they will have incredible children if they just keep walking on God's path that He has desired for them!
