JD and Jamie celebrated 16 years
Our son, Joe Don, and his wife Jamie celebrated 16 years of marriage last Friday. Here a just a few of the reasons I love them and am proud of them.
They are great parents. They are fun, loving, patient, firm, and intentional about parenting their three kids. The most important thing to them is that their kids learn to love Jesus. They are helping them develop their own individual faith.
They work at being married. That is a good thing. Marriage is hard and it takes work to keep a marriage strong. They do not take their happy marriage for granted.
Their home is a Kingdom outpost in this world. Believers fellowship, sing, pray, eat, and study there. Non-believers are invited in and they get a glimpse of what it means to live as a follower of Jesus. There are people in the Kingdom today because they met Joe Don and Jamie.
They are generous with their time, money, and with their hearts.
I am constantly told by people how much Joe Don and Jamie mean to them.
They teach a Bible class of young couples. Great mentors and examples for that group.
They are happy. With each other. With their kids. With their life.
Mimi and I are incredibly blessed to call them our kids.
So thanks God for putting these two together. Continue to bless them and their Anna, Andrew, and Austin. I look forward to what you will do thru them as a couple and as a family.
