Proverbs 10

v. 1 The proverbs of Solomon:  A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.  I don’t want to omit any of our sons but today we were thinking of Chris.  As we walked near a couple women we had passed back and forth with yesterday, I was chatting with one born in Pennsylvania who now lives in the south of Spain near where Chris used to live—in the town he used to live in, it turned out.  She was a civilian working for the Navy in Rota.  “What’s your son’s name?” she asked.  I told her.  “Krystle!” she shrieked.  She was friends with our daughter-in-law, and had also worked with Chris.  Such a small world. We are proud of Chris, making his way responsibly in the world, working hard, serving his country, leaving good impressions behind.  Lord, we thank you for three fine sons who bring us joy.
