J.’s mom made a scrapbook for his birthday, collecting stories, letters and pictures from friends and family who knew J. as a child. His pastor recounted this story:
"I remember your words when you were a little boy in nursery school. You had crawled under Gramma’s house to get a kitten and I asked, ‘But weren’t you afraid under there?’ You said, "The Lord is under there, too.’ J., remember the Lord is everywhere."
K Porter says
Happy belated birthday. We are proud of you and hope all is going well! Hard to believe you are already 30 I guess I still think you should be that little boy in those pictures. It’s almost time for a big Easter egg hunt like we use to have at Gramma’s. Take care.
Love,
K Porter
Mom says
Psalm 139:7-8 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your Presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
Isn’t it amazing how much children raised to know the Lord know intuitively? No wonder the Lord Jesus said we should all be like children.
Return to your childlike faith, J… and C. as well.
Our prayers are with you all.
