Sharing in the joy...

Dear Jonathan,
When you were about 4, we were at CBS on a Tuesday in the late Fall. When we came outside, we were surprised to see that it was snowing. Not just any snow, but huge, soft, downy flakes. It was beautiful and we were so excited. In your excitement, you asked, "Mom, can we stop at Grandma's house on the way home? I want to see how happy she is!" It really blessed me to know that part of what made you happy was experiencing someone else's happiness. I hope that you always retain that. It's a blessing to be able to enter in to someone else's joy or pain. It's part of what the Apostle Paul encourages us to do in his letters...to hold each other in the highest regard.
I love your heart and I love you, Mom
