Dear Anna,
I can't believe you are 6 years old today. It seems as if only yesterday I held you for the first time. I am sure I will say this every year for the rest of your life. But it is so true that you are growing up so fast. You are growing into such a beautiful little girl. You inspire and encourage me. Your faith amazes me. Your love of laughter is so contagious. You are a treasure! You have so many gifts and talents, most of which have not even been discovered. I love to watch you learn and grow. And although we have had our challenges I enjoy being your mom...I LOVE being your mom. I enjoy the fact that I get to be your teacher. I get to see first hand just how God created your mind and how it works. Just in case you ever wondered, you are so loved!
I never knew 6 years ago how much my life would change the day I met you.
My prayer for you sweet daughter, is that you grow in understanding of our Lord Jesus. You have such a sweet and sensitive spirit, I know that the Lord can use that if you choose to yield to Him. I pray that you will desire to hide God's Word in your heart. I pray that you will desire to follow the Lord and look to Him to guide you through your days. I pray that you will come to understand all you have because of Christ. He has given you everything you need to live a life of godliness.
Happy Birthday sweet Annaliese!
Oh God...I am so blessed! I pray that you would use my daughters life to bring glory to you. Help me to yield to you and walk in the spirit, so that I can guide her and give her wisdom from Your Word. Thank you Lord for lending her to Bill and I to take care of. We know that Anna's life belongs to you, help us to be good stewards of it. Thank you Father for blessing us with this gift of life.

Awww....that's so sweet! She is such a blessing, I love her sweet & caring personality. She is definitely the "Mommy" of our group...lol!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet tribute to your daughter. I remember when she was a baby. Kayla and I were instantly attached to her! She was such a tiny little thing.
ReplyDeleteGod is so good, isn't he??
Happy Birthday Anna!!

That was a very sweet letter. Ella was sitting on my lap as I read it. I got choked up reading it and thinking of her growing up and her approaching birthday. I remamber Anna as a baby chewing on her blanky tag in Bible study when we first met you. It really is hard to believe that it has been that long already.
