Jaxson, Your dad and I have prayed for you since before you were born. Even though we've only known you just a few months, you are already living up to your name. Jaxson means "God has been gracious" and Tate means "brings joy." You bring such joy! We can't imagine life without you. We are so honored to be your parents. And like we will often admit to you now, "We don't know what we're doing," but we trust that God will continue to guide us as we parent you. We pray that you will fall in love with Jesus and put your faith in Him at an early age. That God will capture your heart, that you will love His Word and commit to live by it your whole life. We pray that you will point everyone to Jesus by the joy-filled way you live your life, the loving and truthful words you choose to say, and the strong work ethic with which you labor. We pray you will always be willing to listen to correction, be full of integrity, and find your confidence in the Lord. We pray God will use you in your generation to spread His Good News of salvation. We pray that you and your future wife will raise your own family in the knowledge and fear of the Lord. Jaxson, we pray you will grow up strong, brave, and bold. Aim high. Shine bright. Love deeply. And know that no matter what, we will always love you. Love, Mom We hope to dedicate Jaxson at Grand Parkway in November. As part of that service, we will get to read (or mom might be crying so someone else will read) our prayer for him. We're looking forward to seeing family and friends who would like to attend - just email me for details.

Lately, a question I've been asking is "What can I do today that would bless you?" Most days, Marcus' answer has been something fairly easy. He needed a button sewn back on one of his shirts, for example. Making it a habit to ask this question often has brought to mind a few things that used to come more naturally - when the newlywed "new" made it easy. 1. Don't forget to greet him. Back in our 800-square-foot one bedroom apartment days, the sound of Marcus coming home made mine and Reba's little world stop. I'd put down whatever I was doing and go greet him with a kiss. Nearly five years into marriage, I realized I'd let that slip. Reba was keeping it up. But I wasn't. Greeting your man at the door has power. It says, "You've been missed. I'm glad you're here." If something so easy can make the one you love feel special, why not make it a habit? "The wise woman BUILDS her house, |
