God Bless Jordan and Joshua !
Today we celebrated the birth of Jordan and Joshua. They were born on the same date, but Josh was born eight years later and was Jordan's first brother.
We stuck Jordan with three names because we thought he would be our last child and our only son...hehehe! There's definitely a story behind that statement, but we'll save it for another time:)
Joshua was born eight years later on Jordan's eighth birthday, and Jordan was absolutely thrilled to have his first brother, and he considered him to be his very own special birthday present. Also, Joshua was born at home, and I remember seeing a picture of Jordan trying to look through the key hole to see whether he had a new brother or sister. My dear friend who helped us when we birthed at home caught on camera his look of excitement after hearing the good news. His expression was priceless.
We went out for lunch today and then did a little shopping at the bookstore and at Academy. They wanted to replace their exercise equipment, and they did. Tom always met us for lunch on each child's birthday, and we're going to try and continue family traditions as much as possible. Later in the evening, we had a special meal with the family. The birthday person chooses the meal on his/her special day.
They are definitely their father's sons and are such a blessing to me and to the rest of the family.
Jordan and Joshua, God bless you today and always. I'm a very blessed woman, and I am grateful to the Lord for giving me such fine sons. May you walk with Him all the days of your lives, by His grace, and for His glory. Amen.
Blessings,
Mom

Sweet memories..our children's births...these are memories that time and circumstances just can't destroy.They are always so etched in these momma's heads!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a special blessing to have these boys born on the same day.I wonder if any of their children will born on that day...lol
I am adopted..I know no one else with my day.When I met my 1/2 sister 4 years ago..her youngest daughter a Kim (My second oldest is also a Kim) was born on my birthday.She had celebrated that day for 21 years not knowing she had a sister who was also born on that day...lol
I am glad you are going to keep the traditions going.So many stop the traditions..I think it such a shame.I have told my clan...if anything happens to me..for the girls to please keep the little traditions going for their children to see how Nana would of done things. I have come close to death twice now..and it makes you re-think things heavily!!
Your boys are handsome and such a reminder of that sweet husband.May God hold you this week!!

ReplyDeleteHappy (belated) Birthday from the Ferrill clan! May the joy of the Lord be your strength in the coming days.
Happy Birthday to your precious boys. I'd love to hear that story of how the Lord changed your heart towards more children some time - He's certainly done that with us as well.
ReplyDeleteI hope they had a wonderful celebration

Wow, what a testimony from a Mother about her sons. May the Lord grant me to say the same one day, very soon.
