Ways I'm praising God for the Kid...
- for the life God's given
- for his perfection in creating the Kid for his purposes
- for planning and ordaining the Kid's days
- for knowing him better than I ever will
- for meeting his needs before I know them
Ways I'm praying for the Kid...
- that he'd passionately, wholeheartedly follow Christ
- that he'd thank God for the days he's given
- that he'd seek God's help during difficult times
- that he'd know Scripture and live by it
- that he'd glorify your name
- that he'd open his eyes, heart, and mind to know you from a young age
- that he'd understand and discern the truth about God
- that he'd boldly share that truth with others in love and with grace
- that he'd seek to make you known all over the world
- that he'd inherit L's teeth and my eyesight
- that he'd be filled with joy and laughter and yet be able to seriously connect with others
- that he'd love the outdoors
- that he'd be astounded by God's creation
- that he'd be healthy
- that he'd love learning--both in terms of knowledge and experience
Ways I'm praying for L and me in regards to the Kid...
- that we'd be faithful stewards of God's gift
- that we'd seek wisdom in parenting
- that we'd trust God's sovereignty
- that we'd be faithfully patient
- that we'd seek God's guidance
- that we'd follow Christ's example of sacrificial love
- that we'd pass on a passion for loving and knowing Christ
- that God would shelter the Kid from our weaknesses
- that God's power would be made perfect in our weakness
This is a long list, and I guess I sum it all up by thanking God for the Kid's life and praying that the Kid would glorify God by passionately and wholeheartedly follow Christ. May it be so....
