Ben Gabriel
Daddy spent hours and hours flying you through the air,since that was the ONLY thing that soothed your colic.
Wild Wagon Rides were a favorite.
(Julia (cousin), Olivia (sister), Hannah (cousin))
Like father, Like son.
(And Christiana wondering where her overalls are.) 
In honor of being rescued from floating in the ocean after
their boat sank, Uncle Tommy presented the men and boys with these
"Safe in the arms of Jesus" statues.
Thank you, Lord, for keeping them here with us.
The "Olders". (and Jon.)
1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Heb. 12:1
We love your cheery, joyful spirit.
When you walk in the house after working and are so happy,
it changes any dull mood.
Your sensitivity to those that might be feeling low,
and the way you try to cheer their spirit, no matter how long it takes!
The time you spend with the boys, teaching and training. You are truly their hero.
Your obedience to your Lord, and even though you mess up,
you never give up. You're not a quitter.
I could go on and on, but just know that you are loved so much.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Love,
Daddy, Momma, Lem, Airs, Chricha, Jonny, Tom, Mary, James

Ben Gabriel You are a great blessing and encouragement. To see the strength of character that is who you are already is a blessing indeed. The love you have for Jesus and all those around you is a wonderful blessing in your life and all those privileged to know you. Keep rejoicing in the Lord, being thankful, and enjoying your life as you always do.
Your Grandpa was so very proud of you.
Love Your Granny
