Dear Godson,
Your mom called me today. It was wonderful to talk with her and hear a little about what is going on in your life. But it was also a joy to be reminded of our relationship and its roots. We met on the first day of seminary back in 2004. You were not even close to being in our lives at that point, but your mom and I bonded quickly.
Now we share a call to ministry. Not in the same place or with the same people, but much is similar. We have joys and sorrows that are similar. We have frustrations and thanksgivings that are similar. We know some of the same people and we share some similar history. And, we both love you and pray for you regularly!
I hope that one day you will call or get in touch with a friend of yours and be reminded of the joys of knowing one another. Of having history together. That you will laugh at old jokes together, and simply be grateful to know one another. And that you will be thankful, like I am, that the thread of faith runs through both of your lives.
Love and hugs,
Your godmother
Blessings. And prayers.
