Dylan is 24 today ...

Twenty-four years ago, the 28th of May was a Monday and it was Memorial Day ... it certainly was a memorable day for me! Dylan was born bright and early, just before 5:00 a.m. that Monday morning. Ultrasounds were not done routinely back then, so we didn't know if we were having a boy or a girl; but he was a third son! Everyone wanted me to be honest with them and asked me how I felt about another boy?!! So I told them I was thrilled. And I was! He was healthy, and such a contented baby! We had plenty of boy clothes and money was tight!

Contentment is a strong characteristic of Dylan's personality. Even as an infant, he always woke up happy! He has been a personal blessing to me, all his life long! I greatly admire his pursuit of God, his passion for truth, and his commitment to excellence in his studies. He has one year left at Kuyper as a pre-Seminary student and then, Lord willing, will take up his Seminary studies at Calvin the following year.

My prayer for Dylan: "I pray that God will give you a complete understanding of what he wants to do in your life, and I ask him to make you wise with spiritual wisdom. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and you will continually do good, kind things for others. All the while, you will learn to know God better and better." Colossians 1:9-10 NLB

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DYLAN!
