Dearest Little Boy,Exactly one year ago today, you were born. Not because the doctors said Mommy needed to be induced, not because Mommy and Daddy had decided they wanted a baby. No, you were born exactly one year ago at 3:27 a.m. because of God's choosing. And we are eternally grateful that He decided to make us your earthly parents.
What a year it has been! Seeing you smile for the first time, rocking you to sleep, hearing your first laugh, seeing your facial expression the first time you ate solid food, watching you learn to crawl, taking your first steps, hearing you say "dada" and "momma" for the first time - all priceless moments. In fact, too many priceless moments to even count.
Our prayer for you has always been and will continue to be that Jesus is the center of your heart. That you will have a personal relationship with Him starting at a very young age. We pray that you have an individual faith, apart from Mommy and Daddy's, a love and hunger for God's word, and the ability to always discern God's truth.
It is sometimes scary thinking about our young son growing up in this fallen world, but know that God sent you here for a reason - a reason that I may never know, but trust that God has plans for you. He will never leave you nor forsake you - regardless of what the rest of the world does. Cling to Him, love Him, and know that no matter what this life may bring, your Mommy and Daddy forever love you and want to spend eternity with you.
Blessings on your first birthday!
All my love forever,
Mommy
Happy Birthday Munchkin!
