One of those families is Joyful Pilgrims. A was in first grade and J3 was 3. Seriously? 3. J2 and B have been such great supporters of our ministry, but also great friends in life. We just love them! I love the friendships that have formed with all the boys. They have a blast together. JD even brought them over to the dark side--they are now Cowboy fans! Ha!
The first spring (2005) we were here, our church put on a huge drama thing (there was no talking, just still scenes to the music) at the local theater. JD was asked to play the role of Joseph (as in Jesus' earthly daddy). J3 was asked to play the role of Jesus as a young boy being visited by wise men. They had such a fun time together that week. See? (This was a dress rehearsal. JD doesn't usually wear a turban on his head.)
J3 continues to grown into such a sweet young man. He is such a great friend to LilE. And she absolutely adores him. And even as a ten year old boy, he will still play with her and make her feel super special. He has a gift and he makes everyone feel like the most important person in the world to him.
This weekend we were able to celebrate his 10 years! JD was invited to the party! Love it! The girls tagged along too. Who can turn down a good piece of birthday cake?
Happy Birthday J3!
PS. You notice a theme here? The bearded man. Stay tuned for the reason why!
