Today is my sweet Hayden's 1 year birthday! God is so good. I will post some pictures later of her, we had a great time with her. What a special child! Tonight I found myself (for the second night in a row) just sobbing in prayer to God. Although, tonight it was about Hayden, I can't remember life without her, she is God's gift to Susan and I. I am so thankful.
Father, thank you - those words are not enough to tell you how much I appreciate my daughter. I am so undeserving and unworthy of such a beautiful gift from Heaven. May I be to her a fraction of the father you have been to me. May I raise her to basque herself in your love and in your ways. May I train her to be a true follower of Jesus in the purest sense. Please allow me to show her an example of love, truth, faith, and encouragement. Help me to hold my priorities in the right way that she may see who you are in my eyes.. Thank you, I love you!!! Amen.
