Birthday Note to My Son, Jonathan, on His 25th Year of Life - June 20th, 2016

Out with Jonathan, on Father's Day - 6/19/16



Dearest Jon -

What a blessed day it was when you finally came forth on the afternoon of June 20th! I remember every detail like it was yesterday. How proud and giddy your father was, and how relieved I was that God had answered his silent prayer for a son! You are so loved by the village - and you are able to capture the hearts of people that you meet. Everywhere you go - your name is remembered, and it's a good thing. I am thankful you had such a firm paternal foundation in the person of your father, for the first 18 years of your life. Bro. Wynn would be so very proud of you!

I am confident that your continued faith and trust in the Lord will take you from glory to glory as you travel the path and fulfill His purpose for your life! I am proud of you, son! The language isn't adequate enough to express what my heart feels at this moment. My prayer is that you live your life in service, unto God, that your name may be remembered. Happy birthday, son - ENJOY your special day!
