Greetings Dear Reader,
I can still recall speeding through Atlanta traveling north
from Peachtree City where I worked to Ashford Dunwoody. The others involved were amazed at the speed
of my arrival. I had hurried there to
wait.
It was not long until my eldest Son made his advent into the
world. He insisted on giving us a scare
at first by lowering his heart rate to the point that the doctor thought to
excise him surgically from the womb.
Just as his mother reached to sign the papers he declared that his exit
was forthcoming.
In a short time I was holding tiny boy full of energy and
action. Even when the nurses first placed
him in his bed in the nursery he was already lifting his head. I loved him so instantly and deeply on that
first day.
He is now a man with two sons of his own. He loves them to the depth that I love him
and perhaps more. He is intelligent and
hard working. He has compassion for those
in need and chooses to work in a place where he does good instead of chasing
money.
Today is his advent anniversary and I celebrate him. We will gather this evening with his
coworkers to bolster the effort of caring for those with great need. He chose to ask us to participate in this
rather than some special celebration for him.
I only love him more as the years pass through the
glass. I would find better ways to show
it. I love you Son. Happy Birthday.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
