Happy Birthday Jimmy!

My baby is 11 years old today! Wow! Where has the time gone? I am so honored that the Lord has allowed me to be his momma.

His first day of preschool. So precious! He was so proud of himself because he got to go to 'school' like his brother and sisters.

He's flying a kite...I love this picture.

Fast forward about 6 years and here he is! Don't you just love the hair. I love the uniqueness about him. He has his own style.

"[Hannah to the Priest Eli] As surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD. I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD." 1 Samuel 1:26-28 

Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. Psalm 127:3

Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it. Proverbs 22:6

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for this treasure you have given me. Lord, I pray that you walk with him and guide his steps. I plead with you that you keep in from harm. Keep him from temptations of this world. I am reminded that your Word says you will abide in us if we abide in you. I pray that he hungers for you. May he discover the joy of your presence through daily relationship with your Son, Jesus. You know he has such a sweet, sweet spirit. He's yours. I am so thankful that you have entrusted me with him. Give me wisdom and knowledge to help guide him as well. Forgive us Lord where we both fail you.Ever assist him to grow in wisdom, in kindness, compassion and love. May he serve you faithfully with his whole heart devoted to you.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
