On June 30, 2004 at 3:56 pm, 19 ½ inches and 7 pounds/ 7 ounces of bubbly sunshine came into our lives.  As we gazed into his captivating blue eyes and nuzzled close to his peach-fuzz head, we were changed at the core of our souls.  Jacob Brian Dishongh… our son… our legacy… our undeserved gift from God Almighty.  As we anticipated all the things we would show him throughout his sweet, little life. We knew nothing was of more value than the gentle whisper of our Father’s instructions to our hearts- “Teach him to bring Me glory.”

 

So little man, as you grow… as you succeed… as you fail… as you walk each road, hum this simple tune in your heart, and with all our love and all God’s unfailing grace, “bring Him glory”… always!

 

Psalm 139:13-14 

For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.  I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.  Your works are wonderful. I know that full well.
