JONATHAN'S TREE
I walked up the driveway to check the mail last Saturday and stopped so suddenly that Yellow Dog bumped into my legs. There, a few yards from me, stood "Jonathan's Tree," its limbs heavy with gorgeous blossoms. Click on the pictures to enlarge.
Planted in the spring of 2006 in memory of my precious grandson Jonathan Joseph, the tree is a loving reminder of that sweet little boy.
This is how "Jonathan's Tree" looked in 2010. Splendid then, it is spectacular now, don't you think? The photo below was taken this past Saturday.
We almost bought a weeping cherry back in 2006 because they are so beautiful, but I didn't want anything connected to weeping or sadness. Instead, we selected this ornamental cherry with its branches reaching toward heaven and our grandson.
I moved closer for the next shot.

Mother, the tree is absolutely gorgeous! I wish I could come see it in person. Those beautiful blossoms that appear after winter's seemingly lack of life are a wonderful reminder of the New Life in Christ and the hope of eternity. Thanks to the cross we get to see Jonathan again! I look forward to that day when it's time.
I love you!
Christine, I wish you could see it, too. I love you.
I'm glad you are sharing God's blessings.
