...i went to mrs. mac's[nathan's mama]blog and quite boldly if i do say myself, helped myself to a few pictures of god's gift, nathan...here is a picture of nathan's 16th birthday...what a beautiful laddie he surely is!..all smiles and sweetness inside and out!
i was so surprised to see this picture of nathan, playing basketball with all of his buddies!..he is a real wonder that boy is..
all smiles again!
you know, every year i like to put in a post of what mrs. mac thinks of her dear gift of god, nathan and i thought that this one was a real heart touching one!....and so here are his mama's words...
"independent. That Gift of mine (Nathan .. the possessor of an extra chromosome) has got his groove on. Pretty self reliant of late is he! After spending months and months with an in home therapist, he has got himself in order. Bathing, washing his own hair, eating at the Christmas table with eleven people, brushing teeth, shopping, extra outings after school twice a week .. just to name a few improvements. God is good .. and I am blessed."
for sure and he HAS overcome!
this is something i really admire about nathan...he looks so happy and secure as he sails in this boat with his dad...now if it were me sitting there, i am sure that i wouldn't be smiling..in fact i would be a nervous wreck, so afraid of water i am!... nathan is a big brave boy!
nathan with his best buddy, jacob, who is also his very own nephew!
I grew up in a family of nine children and each week my mother didn't just send us to Sunday School,she came with us.
We heard the gospel week after week from the year 1956 but were not saved until 1967.
The summer of 1967 my mother,my sister, Betty and I were all gloriously saved.
From that year until now several of my brothers and sisters were saved, but my dad still remains on the outside.
It has been our prayer that he will be saved soon and then the family circle will be unbroken and we will all be on our way to heaven where we will meet the Lord and see our brother, David who has gone on before.
