30 Years Ago Today...

...God brought in to the world a new life. This life was known before the beginning of time, his days were preordained and his future given to bring glory to His Creator. This person was none other than my own precious husband. That's right, Jonathan has finally reached his thirties! No tears are being shed over the fact as with age one gains credibility here. A few months back he was even thrilled to see a gray hair in his goatee! (I'm not so thrilled about my head of grays.) We were talking last night how when we met each other we were still our teens and now we are in our thirties. Where has the time gone?

I am so thankful for Jonathan; for his love and devotion to Christ, for his spiritual leadership of our family, for his gifts as a communicator, teacher and musician, for being a wonderful father and amazing husband. I can't imagine walking this life without him by my side. It is a joy for me to be his help meet!

Wishing you a year of great blessing and joy as you continue to draw closer to God! We love you so very much!! Happy Birthday honey (and Dada)!

although, according to samuel, dada has turned 40 today... but no worries, when samuel is 60, dada will still be 40, so life will be good for the next 54 years, apparently

I didn't see this posting on your birthday, Jonathan, but will say now that Dad and I are so very grateful to our gracious Father for giving us the privilege and honor to be your parents. We have watched his miraculous working in your life these past 30+ years. Even before you were born he protected you in a special way. We love you.
