This past Sunday at church was Jonathan's dedication, and it was a special time to ask for the Lord's hand and blessing on his life. Jonathan means "gift" and we believe that our third son is just that, a gift, not just to Kennon and I, but a gift to our family, and specifically to his brothers. Our prayer is that Jonathan, like his namesake in Scripture, would be both a fierce warrior, zealous for the Lord, and at the same time a trustworthy friend to his brothers, tender hearted and loving. Alexander is Kennon's middle name as well as that of his maternal grandfather, a man who Kennon often describes as one of the most gentle, wise, and Christlike men he's ever known.
Prov.17:17 "A friend loves at all times, and a brother in born for adversity." We thank God for the "gift" of Jonathan, and the special bond of friendship found among brothers.
Praise be to God for another son! And you look great! You don't look like you've just had three babies in a row and little sleep! :)
