Faith

Oh that I could have the faith of my children. I often read the blogs that my girls share and wonder, why can't I write like that. I love the strength and the faithfulness that they often share. I love to read how much of a blessing their families are to them. I also am amazed at how they are able to share their joys and struggles with others and how people pray for them on a daily basis.

I have wonderful beautiful children and three of them are married to wonderful, beautiful people. We pray for the best for our children and I believe that God truly blessed my husband and I with very special ones. They would do anything for us. They give to the point that they can give no more and still, if they have it they give it. They love hard and with the fullest extent that God could possibly give them.

They soak up every joy in life and share them with others. They make me smile each moment I think about them. I have loved them, prayed for them, wept with them and held them. THANK YOU LORD, for these amazing children.

Our youngest son Joshua became ill a couple of weeks ago. Everyday he was called from his siblings who checked on how he was doing. It was the first time he had ever been in a hospital. I remember when they were all younger, how they each had a special place in our lives and in each others. They have each other's backs and they are the best of friends. Not many families have a special place like ours. Being a "Pollock" means something to them. We've worked hard to get where we are and they don't let anything stand between them. Listening to them and how concerned they were for their little brother, brought tears to my eyes. I could feel the love they have for him and for each other. What an amazing beautiful thing.

Proverbs 18:4 says, "A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is one who sticks closer than a brother." In our case, my children are fortunate to not only be brothers and sisters but friends. What treasures we have in our children and their friendships.

Me: "Do you remember when you were little how I always told you I love you? I love you bigger than all the stars in the sky." Josh: "Yep, I love you more than all the grains of sand in the ocean."
