James' 30th Birthday - 30 years of memories

30 years of memories

- hours of playing glub glub (golf clubs), catch and basketball
- you dancing in your feeted p.j.'s
- Friday night - mattress night, dropping you off at the wrong baseball field

I've watched your inner strength and character while dealing with tourette's, the ADHD, the baseball injuries, the breakup with your first girlfriend, you as a husband, you parenting Payton with autism and Logan and Jackson with their own needs, the job loss.......

Now look at you - God brought you a lovely, amazing partner for life in Kristy, 3 beautiful children and a growing walk with Him experiencing more of His love and His grace.

Seek Him first, pursue Him, draw near to Him, enjoy Him, talk to Him often and watch as He draws nearer to you and as He completes the good work that He has begun in you life.

Thirty years ago I had no idea I could love a child so much, that I could be so proud of a child - my child, my joy - James - continue to do life well with Jesus.

Love, Dad
P.S. Sorry for the length of this - you know me and my many words.
