Cody turned 18 today! After opening his birthday cards this morning, we went to the post office to get information on signing him up for the selective service and to the probate office to register him to vote. We found out that some of this we could have done online. Oh, well, it was a great excuse to get out of the house for awhile!
Cody and the boys still had school work to do today. However, we had time to watch a movie about WWII in the afternoon. Cody and Andrew were quite taken in by the story. In fact, Andrew openly sobbed at the end. He has never shown any emotion for a film, so it must have really touched him.
For lunch, we ate BLTs, and in the evening, we ate chicken and rice, green beans, and, of course, cake and ice cream. Cody seemed to appreciate the day as it was. Nothing fancy and yet, he was thoroughly content.
We're so happy to have Cody as our son. He has the gifts of helps and, I believe, mercy. He is a good, loyal friend to several young men at church. Also, he is a hard worker who seldom complains about menial tasks. Cody isn't perfect, but in his struggles, he is diligent. He is a wonderful example of a spiritually growing, Christian man. We pray that his adult years will be filled with joy and God's love and protection.
1Peter 1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
