Yes, these are our boys and we are so very proud of them. Yesterday I finally gave in and let my older son, Joshua, get the haircut he wanted. Yes – that is a pattern on his left side. I cringed at the time, but he sure looks great. Doesn’t he? The younger, Jonathan likes the spiky look. Like every parent, we want to see them enjoy their childhood and really love life.
Our Boys
Things were very different in our time even though that was not that long ago… Spiky hair and/or patterns designed would have been met with much prayer and fasting, followed by Godly discipline (aka licks). But, things are different today. We don’t take ourselves so seriously anymore, but we do make room for their individuality and opinions about what they think is cool. What has more meaning to us is how they are growing and developing within. We are so very grateful to God for our boys and thank Him everyday for them.
Now, they want me to get a design in my hair. With that, I get to have an opinion and the answer is “negative.” I don’t need to emulate bald spots in the name of design; age will eventually make that a reality. In the meantime – I’m keeping every strand and will never give in… So, help me God!
How true…it’s amazing that as you get older you get and as your children grow, the most important thing is not necessarily on outer appearances or what “people would say”, but knowing that your children are growing up with a sense of “self” and the true meaning of what family, love and having a strong foundation means. As far as I am concerned, as long as they show respect, treat people kindly, and love each other, they can cut their hair crazy, color it blue, spike it, shave it…..in the end, it all grows back! P.S. Their aunt thinks they look “cool”. (I bet I just aged myself by saying cool)!
they love their aunt paula
