Our son Jonathan has been a bit of a mystery to us since the day he was born. He is kindhearted and tender—always concerned about the feelings of others.
The other day when he, David and Ashley were bringing in groceries from the van, all of a sudden Cole was laying on the living room floor crying as if his heart would break. The cause: There were no more groceries to be carried in—and Cole so loves to help.
Jonathan, with no coaching from us, took an empty grocery bag and put some lightweight groceries in it, and then quietly placed it back in the van.
Jonathan informed Cole that indeed there were more groceries to be brought in. Cole then happily did his share of bringing in the groceries and went on his merry way.
Sweet Jonathan—no need for fanfare, recognition or praise . . . he is simply always finding ways to be a blessing to others.

What a sweetheart! I just love their red hair. Your boys are adorable.
What a great story! We could probably all take a lesson from Jonathan.
You guys have great children!
You know, I'm normally not the type to coo over this sort of thing.
But that was pretty darn cool.
that is sweet.
what a sweet and wonderful boy!! I can only hope my little redhead is as sweet some day...
I have been noticing that in all the movies and TV, the bullies are redheads and it made me nervous... but you have calmed me... well, Jonathan has...
Reminds me of a girl we both know. Maybe that's why she always had a special place in her heart for Jay.
Okay, this got me all choked up when I read it to Matt. What a sweetie.
That is SOooooooooo sweet. What a darling that Jay is. What a little jewel you have in him.
I love your comments on Matt's blog. And yes, we both still listen to Keith Green. Go Keith!
