Ryan recently had his 10th birthday - and what fun it was! He is a HUGE fan of Stargate -the SciFi tv series - and by that I mean that he collects cards, props, autographs, anything he can get his hands on. He watches the show whenever he gets a chance. We own all ten seasons... he is totally into all aspects of Stargate. He has everything from posters to coasters... need I say more. But the ONE THING he REALLY wanted more than anything else was a Jaffa staff weapon. He always gets outbid on e-bay. They don't make them anymore. It seemed impossible that he would ever get one.
And of course, we had a Stargate cake!!
Here is Ryan with his only Stargate weapon to date - a zat gun.
Until his birthday, when his parents sent him on a scavenger hunt, with clues all over town. Literally. He went to a friend's house, the back yard, 7-11, Safeway...
even to our favorite Greek restaurant where a clue was handed to him by the owner.
The final clue led him to Danny's office, where lo and behold, the prize of the scavenger hunt was a STAFF WEAPON!!
I shall NEVER forget the look of surprise and joy on my boy's face as he discovered his treasure! It is so rewarding as a parent to give your child the desire of his heart...
It was such a reminder to us of the delight that our Heavenly Father feels when He gives us good gifts! How He longs to give us the desires of our hearts!
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! (Matthew 7:11)
Here is my warrior with his weapon! Happy Birthday Ryan!
