I went to the mailbox yesterday and found a large envelope inside with Jaden's name on it. Jaden and I opened the envelope together and found inside a picture that Blake painted for Jaden, but not just any kind of picture, it was a picture of the state of Texas where Blake lives. He also painted bluebonnet's on the picture because that's the State flower. I let Jaden see his picture and he wanted to scratch all the paint off with his little fingers, he told me that he really loved it and that he can't wait to meet Blake, his Pen Pal.
Jaden scratching the paint....
We are so blessed to have such great Christian Family and Friends that earnestly pray for us and for Jaden. We are so amazed by all the love and support that everyone has shown to us. To get a picture like this in the mail just absolutely makes your day, especially when it says I say prayers for you...and to know that he really does because he has a great Mommy and Daddy that teaches him the importance of prayer, even at such an early age.
look real close and you can see the bluebonnet's...
Thank you Blake for painting such a special picture for Jaden and above all thank you for praying for Jaden. We love you bunches and can't wait to see you again.
It is so fun to see Jaden with his picture (and so funny that he likes to scratch the paint)! I am glad he likes it. I can't wait to show Blake these pictures in the morning when he wakes up! He is going to be so excited! When we took it to the post office to mail it, he stood in line and paid for the postage all by himself. He wanted me to stand to the side. He was so proud to be sending it to Jaden all by himself. We love you guys!!
ReplyDeleteThat Blake sure is a sweetheart. We were with them today at lunch and for Blake's blessing, he not only blessed the food but prayed for Jaden right there in McDonald's! He loves little Jaden -- we all do! :)
ReplyDeletePure sweetness! Doesn't that make your day! Glad Jaden liked it too!
