Recently you celebrated your birthday and we went to the zoo. It was your idea for your grandparents to go with your family to the zoo. While everyone was taking the boat ride you said "this was your dream come true". You had most of your favorite people with you in your favorite place with the animals that fascinate you.
But now that you are five you'll be going off to see the world just like the little ones in the picture below. I'm scared for you that the world will start to crowd out the innocence that is in your heart. So once again I give a little one to God asking him to go before you and make a way for you to walk through in his protective care. May you keep your childlike faith forever.
"And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." Colossians 1:9-14
To have a grandson like you growing in the knowledge of the Lord is my dream come true.
