Happy Birthday, my sweet baby boy!
I can't believe that you are one year old today. As I write this, I am thinking about that day we met you. Right now I was laughing and talking with your daddy, Grandmother, and Grand pop. At 10:30 am I got out of bed and started walking around the room. Immediately the contractions kicked in. You came into the world at 11:30. IT was one of the most awesome days ever. I wanted to have you without pain meds, and I DID IT! I was very proud of myself. I had planned and prepared for your birth the entire pregnancy. I had determined to do it naturally. I really don't think many people thought, after 7 epidurals, that I would do it. But I did. God gave me everything I had prayed for. I asked him to give me a safe, fast, fairly pain free birth. And that is exactly what I got!!!
I am so proud to have you. my little snuggle bum, as a son. You are the sweetest little baby. You don't cry very much at all. You have stayed a little baby much longer than most of your siblings. You still aren't walking, and that is just fine with us!
I prayed for you so much. I wanted another baby so bad. I was so afraid God had closed my womb and there wouldn't be any more. I was very excited and thankful to welcome you into our family.
I pray that you will always be sensitive to the Lord. That God would always be first in your life. That you will never stray from the path He has for you.
Lord, thank you for this small arrow that is such a huge part of our lives. Thank you, Lord, that we didn't say no to one more gift from You. Help me be a good mom so that Brennen can grow up to be a great soldier for You. That he will be brave and strong and never tire of serving You all his days. Thank you so much for the honor to raise him. Help me and his daddy to always point him to you, and raise him the way You would want.
In Jesus' name,
amen.
