Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

We just got a call from our younger son and his wife that their baby is a boy.  They sound really happy and are so excited.  We all just want a healthy baby, bottom line.  I wasn't sure they were going to ask about the sex of the baby and I don't think they were either, but doing the test today must have made them curious.  We are so lucky to share in their joy and anticipation.  When I was sending out holiday cards with pictures of the three grandchildren inside, I was thinking that next year there will be a fourth photo.  Each of my four kids will have one child.  Wow.  It sure helps with the holiday spirit, and how nice for the grandchildren to have cousins.  Family is a gift and a treasure.
