God and Jonah

There are so many reasons why I love my husband. One of them is that he thinks of things in ways that I would never think of. Take our precious son. Jonah. Most people hear the name Jonah, and all they think of is the guy who didn't get it - the guy who tried to run from God, then finally gave in, just to get mad at God for doing something good - like saving a whole city from destruction. Yes, Jonah was that man. BUT - we serve a mighty and gracious God!! A God who pursued Jonah. A God that did not give up on Jonah. Jonah seemed to try his hardest to anger God, but God continually showed grace to this disobedient, complaining man. This is why we chose the name Jonah. Because of how God did not give up on Jonah. Because of the grace shown to him over and over. May our son find favor in the eyes of God, and may God pursue our Jonah to the ends of the earth and back again!
