Our Little Blessings

I know that I talk a lot about how thankful I am for Griffin and Bailey, but this past Sunday night, we had a "Future Disciples" service where we had to write a letter to our children that included our hopes for their futures. I wanted to include each one of their letters so that we had them written down for many years to come!

Griffin,

We have so many wishes and dreams of what great things you will accomplish and what an amazing Christian man we hope that you will become. You have nothing but opportunities ahead of you and we know that you will take advantage of the incredible potential that you possess. Whether you are hitting home runs, shooting jump shots, or making the grades, our hope is that you give your very best at everything you decide to do and always remember what is most important. You were certainly put on this earth for a reason and we know that you will make a dramatic impact in the lives of those that you come into contact with. You will be a constant example and ambassador for your heavenly father and those who meet you will see the father through your actions. Through the good times and the bad, we know you will turn out to be the son that every mother and father would be proud to have and we cannot wait to watch the story of your life play out. Our vision for you is stated best in 1 Corinthians 10:31 when is says “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you, do it all to the glory of God.”

We love you,

Mommy and Daddy

Now Bailey's turn...

Bailey,

When we think about your sweet life and what the future holds for you, we hope that you will always see the potential that you have! You are such a blessing in our lives already, and we know that you will be a blessing to many others. In your life so far, you already have shown that you possess such a sweet spirit and it is our hope that it will continue in all aspects of your life. Jeremiah 29:11 says “For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” As your Mommy and Daddy, we know that God already has big plans mapped out for your life. We are excited to know that we will be able to witness these plans and we look forward to being your support system along the way. It is also our hope that you and Griffin realize what an amazing team the two of you will make and we hope that you both cherish your relationship with each other and realize what a special blessing it is. We love you!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy 

We love both of you so much!!!
