Happy Birthday Jake Gilbreth

So tomorrow is Jake's birthday.  He will be 10 year's old.  So here are some of the reasons I love Jake and am so proud of him.

Jake loves Jesus.  He enjoys worship, he can always be counted on to lead prayer, and he wants everyone to know Jesus.

He loves people.  Jake enjoys people.  He works the crowd at church.  He has lots of friends at church and school and they are a varied group.  He even has friends who are girls, and friends much older and some younger than he is.  He has friends that love sports and some that don't.  His friends are different sizes, different colors, and different personalities.

Jake loves sports, especially baseball and basketball.  He likes to read about sports and watch sports.  Loves to play ball. And he's good.

He loves his family.  Loves his Mimi, Mommy, and sister Avery especially.  Very protective of his Mom and sister.  Loves his cousins.

Loves dogs.  His dog Lincoln and our two, Lucky and Lulu.

Loves to be outdoors.  Playing, fishing, in the woods.

And this one is special to me.  He loves to go preaching with Pops.  Anytime I am preaching within driving distance, he wants to go.  We visit, talk about Jesus and my sermon, work the crowd together, eat out, and then he talks about the sermon on the way home.

So God... thanks for my buddy Jake.  He will let you use him to do great things in the Kingdom.   I look forward to seeing them.  Protect him and bless him.  Thanks for letting us share life with him.
