Timothy's Year In Review!

I have often heard my husband read large "too-big-for-their-britches" passages of scripture over our babies when they are born.  It's a little daunting to claim big promises for teeny tiny babies… but we have big hopes for our children that don't even compare to how much God loves them.  They don't even compare to how much he plans and already knows about them.

Timothy Daniel, God has big plans for you and we are so happy to be allowed a portion of time in your life that has already been full of grace and joy.  You are precious, little one, and today we celebrate you, the God who made you, and the future we hope will one day include you "pursuing righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness….fight[ing] the good fight of faith, taking hold of the eternal life to which you were called…." I Timothy 6:11ff   See what I mean?  Those words are too big for your britches now, but they aren't too big for God!
