Happy 2nd Birthday Jonathan

We miss you Jonathan and think of you all the time. The LORD in time surely heals. Our family is growing in the LORD in maturity and healing from the loss of Jonathan. We are increasing in emotional and spiritual health trusting in the LORD for his goodness. Having been blessed with another son, we miss Jonathan in a different way than before. When we hold Adam and spend time with him, we have a feeling of what it is like to have a son and cherish in a sweet way what it would have been like to nurture Jonathan. God has flourished our family, but there is still that feeling of someone missing that can never be replaced. We look forward to being reunited with you Jonathan in our glorified bodies with the LORD. Until then, we await and yearn to be with Jesus and our son as the Scriptures say:

Romans 8:23
And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

Being content with the will and providence of God has never been easy, but it will always be rewarding. God bless.
