When our hearts turn to him, that is opening the door to him ... then he comes in, not by our thought only, not in our idea only, but he comes himself, and of his own will. Thus the Lord, the Spirit, becomes the soul of our souls ... Then indeed we are; then indeed we have life; the life of Jesus has ... become life in us ... we are one with God forever and ever. (The Heart of George MacDonald)

...and months before your final days, Jeremiah, you asked me to share God with you daily... and here we are celebrating you and God's gift of you to us..but only for a short while we were able to embrace you. And only for a short while we shall be apart...

13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few..."

Matthew 7

Thank you Jesus for , " Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved, Romans 10:13.

we will embrace again, Jeremiah, real soon my son!

Papa... 

Auntie Teresa and Uncle Scotty, I want you to know how much I love you. My heart and thoughts go out to you and I cannot find words to fully encompass my sadness. 

Jeremiah was a wonderful kid. Full of love and joy. He was a man of few words but had an adorable nod and smile. His eyes smiled from his soul and his presence was gentle and comforting. He had a love for Jesus that spread to my kiddo, Nicholas. All of the VBS weeks were so exciting and a cherished memory. I loved him and know that he is with all of our loved ones in heaven. Until I see him again! Rest in eternal peace.
