Harlan and I have tried our best to honor God in our lives. One of these ways was to raise our children to love and serve Him also. Each of our kids has a name plaque with the meaning of their name and a life verse from scripture.
The name book we used to find Joylynn's name had the meaning as "overflowing joy" the name plaque people interpreted it as "source of joy".
She has been the source of all kinds of emotions but beneath them all is that joy.
I've included a few photos on this post. Here is one of her, Jess and the kids.
At Christmas Time
With Danika
Pajama time. With Jess.Close to Mother's Day
Joylynn and Genevieve leaving church, May 2009.
With Genevieve again.
The R-fam during party for Har and Logan.
Everyone needs a "mini me" Genevieve is Joylynn's. She looks so much like her mother did at that age.
Helping Danika go up unto the big slide at the play place for Danika's 2nd birthday.I'd put a picture of Joylynn from Wyatt's first day of school yesterday but she was a bit weepy.
It's a mom's perogative to cry on the first day of school.
Twenty-seven years.... in many ways it seems that long but in most ways it's gone by all too fast.
We dedicated Joylynn to the Lord when she was entrusted to us and we are trusting that He will continue to work in her life.
Phillipians 1:6 ~
"being confident in this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
Happy Birthday Joylynn!
Happy Birthday Joylynn!
May the year ahead be filled with God's grace and blessings.
