Happy Birthday, Thomas. He turns 22 today!
Karen and Thomas met at Moody 2 years ago. I remember the first time we met. It was a cold February Saturday evening in Chicago. I mean cold. It was 10 degrees below 0. We were eating dinner at the Cheesecake Factory at the base of the John Hancock Building. Karen was excited to introduce us to her new friend, someone she had just started to date.
Our good friend, Ian Leitch joined us also. I remember his comment. He said "Thomas, we can tell a lot about a guy, by looking at your hands and your feet". Thomas stretched out his hands for inspection. Clean. '(Thomas worked in the 'dish crew', so of course his hands were clean) And his shoes were clean too. Ian's theory is that if a man takes good care of his fingernails and shoes, he'll take good care of his wife. Thomas passed the test.
Thomas flew down to Guatemala with Karen for Gary's graduation last year.Thomas is a great son-in-law. We count it a privilege to have him a part of our family. He is very intelligent, smiles constantly and is soft spoken. He is completely opposite personality than Karen, however they do compliment each other. He is a very hard worker. He put himself through college, by working extremely hard at several jobs at Moody and in a warehouse. He loves the Lord. He is a student. He is a student of the Word. Currently, he is taking German classes so he can read the original writings of Martin Luther in German.
Thomas is a great husband for Karen. We welcome Thomas into our family. Thank you for bringing love into her life.Happy Birthday, Thomas,
Judy
