A Time to Celebrate Beginnings

January is a time of beginnings. It's also a time to celebrate the anniversaries of beginnings. This month, four of our kinfolk are celebrating birthdays: Jenny Joyner was 37 on January 3rd (see her posted comment below). Elijah Doerr, son of Hans and Christy, will be six on January 19th. Liz Doerr will be 21 on January 24th, a date she shares with her younger cousin Sam Strickland, who will be five on the same day. Be sure to remember them on the anniversary of their natal day by sending a card, letter, or email. You are also invited to leave a comment on this post remembering a shared occasion or offering an encouraging thought for them. I will try to remember other important dates within the Doerr (and allied) families throughout the year.

Jenny's address is 4440 Miley Road, Plant City, FL 33565. Liz is still at home with her mom and dad at 270 Elm Avenue, Satellite Beach, FL 32937. Elijah resides with his mom and dad at 1605 Gayle Terrace, Fredericksburg, VA 22401. Sam lives with his mom and dad (Susan Doerr and Eric Strickland) at 4733 Blaisdell Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55418.

We share each other's joys this month. Be joyful always. Love one another as the Lord loves you!

Grandpa Doerr (Uncle Dan)
