Our Seven Year Old


 
Jackson, you have grown and matured so much in the last year.  Your dad and I are so proud of you!  With each passing year it has been pure joy to be your Mom.

There are so many things I love about you...
I love that you can still be all boy, yet pause to give me a hug or snuggle up on the couch beside me.  I love that you have Jesus in your heart.  I love to hear your prayers - especially how you pray for others in need so earnestly.  I love how you love to watch classic old movies with me (latest favorite is Swiss Family Robinson).  I love how you care after your sister - even when she annoys you.  :)  I love how you like school and work so hard.  I love how you approach life with such vigor and joy.

Happy 7th Birthday, sweet boy.  You are the best Christmas present a mommy could ever ask for!

The verse I pray over you most often:  "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”  - Joshua 1:9
