A parent's greatest joy...

Dear Daniel,

Tonight you did something amazing.  You came to your daddy and I and said you wanted to ask Jesus into your heart.  As we sat and talked, you were able to explain in your own little 6 year old way that you needed Jesus to forgive you of your sins.  Tears of joy followed freely as you sat in your daddy's lap and prayed for Jesus to live in your heart. Some day your Daddy and I will tell you the back story to your life.  One day you will know how as an infant, God reached down and rescued you and your brother from a life of sadness and despair.  Your Heavenly Father choose you and Zachary and placed you on a different path.

Tonight, you chose Jesus.

You made the choice to give your life to Jesus and follow Him.  We know that God has BIG plans for you.  Even tonight, your thoughts were turning to others who don't know Christ.  You prayed for your brother and asked God to speak to his heart.  Your daddy and I commit to doing our best to teach you and instruct you in His Word.  There will be times when you will have questions.  We will do our best to guide you to the answers through His Word and prayer together.  Even when we don't have the answers, we commit to walking with you as we seek the Lord together.

Above all, never forget that you are loved and so fearfully and wonderfully made.  God created you with a very specific purpose in mind.  There is nothing you can do change God's love for you.  You are a blessing to your daddy and I and our love for you runs so very wide and deep. 

We love you,
Mommy and Daddy
