Fourteen years ago God rocked our world by surprising us with our first baby boy! We applied for adoption on a Friday and Jonothon was born the following Tuesday! We brought him home - 2 days old - from the hospital. And our world has never been the same! Fourteen years ago, Chris wrote the following for him:
Jonothon,
You came in winter when a crust of heavy snow sat on our Childlessness.
Your smiles and wide-eyed baby blues have melted frozen streams.
The rivers run again, and yet, you choose to draw from deeper springs than ever we have dared to tap.
In wintertime, we drink a toast of living water, souls made good upon the promise of God's Infant Son.
You, too, our hearts' desire, pledged by the Lord of Our Delight, have quenched the thirst of miles of Arctic desert wanderings.
And from that north a star shines down.
Its light we follow gladly for its hope brought life.
And we can never disbelieve the Word whose waters, deep and full of mysteries, have carried you into our waiting arms.
Dad
So today we are celebrating Jono!
