Henry is 6!!!

Today is Henry's 6th birthday!! He is our 3rd child and our first son. He is a joy and a treasure and I am grateful for the six years that we have had with him. He has a kind heart and regularly prays that everyone who doesn't know the Lord will know Him and worship Him. He prays for his younger brothers and always thanks the Lord for everyone in our family by name. He is quick to give up being the first to do or get something so that a brother or sister can go before Him. He has been a joy to teach this year because he is always ready to learn-he remembers anything once he hears it. He and Claire are still the best of friends and he is a good big brother to his little following. Our prayer for Henry is that He will continue to exercise the faith the Lord has given him. That the Lord will strengthen and grip him and prepare him for the work he has/will be called to. We pray the Lord will bless him with a family that he can lead and point to Christ. That he will not just be a "good" boy but that He will abide in the Lord and that his heart will always be turned towards Christ. We pray the Lord will strengthen him in purity in this world in which we live. We pray he will love God's law, meditate on it, and he transformed by it. We are thankful, grateful, and abundantly blessed to be his parents.
