The construction of this walkway brought a lot of things: guidance from Dad; struggles for control; the opportunity for physical activity; struggles for control; much-needed praise; and did I mention struggles for control?
But one thing it represents now is that Kooper can succeed when he puts his mind to it. And he needs that reminder often. His broken past has plagued him with negative feelings about himself. He has no idea how significant the completion of this construction project is. It will be used as a tangible reminder that he is capable and worthy!He couldn't wait for me to take these pictures and post them. That's a change! In the past he avoided the camera or made goofy expressions...or deleted pictures of himself, despite my instruction not to do so. Mostly because he didn't want to see pictures of himself or was afraid I'd post them.
His heart is still under construction, and we are all learning together, seeking guidance from the Father.

Not everyone can do that kind of thing, so he has a special gift.

That is an awesome walk way. I and my dad have laid a brick patio and walkway (well dad did that alone) and it is not an easy job, your son did a great job on that. Lots of hard work well rewarded!
ReplyDeleteDear Kooper,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful walk way to made for your family! Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish with the guidance of your earthly Dad and your Heavenly Dad? Congratulations on a job very well finished!!

Congratulations, Kooper! It looks fantastic! Do you have another project idea?
ReplyDeleteGood job dad and mom. I have a mini-Kooper (no pun intended) so I think that the parents had the hardest job here.
