Here I am once again sitting pool side as I watch our fourth child learn to swim. Anastasia & Jonathan were born swimming. I could not keep their heads above water. Timmy did Not want to take swimming lessons. I really thought this child would never swim. After many lessons, many tears, and many prayers for bravery, he learned to swim. Caleb was sort of in the middle of the swimming readiness scale. He loves the water. He's just not sure of this whole breathing under water thing. Two years ago, we took lessons at Meredith. He would not jump in, he would not float on his back, and he definitely would not go under water. Two years later, he is putting his face in the water, floating on his back, and making "big arms" out of the water. We have prayed for the Lord to make him brave so he can swim safely and enjoy the pool on vacation in July. God is so wonderful. He cares about the little details of our lives. There are few things that are more precious then the prayers of a child. What a great God we serve!
