I was driving today and I was thinking about my nephew Jonathan Peter. I had written his birthday down in both of my calendars but I still forgot to call him or write a card. But though I forgot his birthday I could never forget him. If I were to describe my nephew words like caring, kind, loving, creative and joyful all come to mind. I was overjoyed to have him stay with us for my brother's wedding. And although Jonathan Peter is only 6 he was so helpful, never complaining, and always interested in what other people had to say. I was amazed by his zeal for life and the way he just loves to sing his heart out. At one point during our visit we were out side and as I sat indian style he bounced around me telling me the Bible verses and songs he was learning in Kindergarden. I remember soaking in those moments remembering how beautiful the day was as he skipped around me sharing his heart. I feel so blessed to know this child and to watch him as the Lord continues to mold and shape him into the man he will someday become. I know I may be over doing it a bit, but I'm allowed to since I'm his Aunt and I have bragging rights. Yes I may have forgotten for a little while his birthday but I could never forget him and how much I love him!
