Preschool Pictures

I wept when I saw Emma's preschool pictures today.

Okay, maybe I didn't weep...necessarily, but it brought tears to my eyes.

Well, not literal tears, but there was an emotional stirring. Yes, an emotional stirring not manifested in the shedding of tears, but a deep moving in my being that in many people would normally provoke tears...

...or weeping.


“O, how quickly the glory of the world evanesces!" St. Thomas a' Kempis

Lord, make me a great father, and do it quickly!

I'm running out of time.
