Jake
So today goes down in history with the birth of Jacob Matthew Knaggs. He's the son of Leslie and Jason Knaggs and the first grandchild of Jim and Carolyn Knaggs. He arrived in Philadelphia, PA at 9:51pm, weighing 9 lbs 1 oz. . Mother, child and father are all blessed and fine. Grandparents, including Ruth Ann Stoneburner of Norristown, PA are each questionable.
Again God has shown His glory in the creation and birth of another child. This one will be special (they all are). He will be raised by parents, friends and family who love the Lord and who follow His intentions for their respective lives. He will learn about the love of Jesus and will early have an appreciation for the Word of God. I'm not attempting to be a prophet, only stating the obvious. It's actually God's idea...His plan, and it's a good one.
So I write today as a grandfather. A new day for Jake. A new day for his mom and dad. A new day for his uncles and aunts...and a new day for his grandparents. Did you notice what happened here? The mention of the new relationship with this new life and now we all belong to him... like his family. And so it is in relationship with the Father...we, now including Jake, are His.
"Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made."
John 1:3 (NIV)

Your other son and I figured out today that Jake is our GREAT nephew! Guess you knew that! Happiness is just spreading like wildfire -- and all because of a miracle. You are blessed -- and rightly you should be. You deserve every happiness you'll find in Jake. Our love and prayers . . .always--
Congratulations :). I worked with Jay and Leslie at Camp Ladore and I can't think of two more wonderfule people to raise a child. Enjoy your new grandson.
