FIVE

Dear Sweet Boy,

Happy birthday, Evan! Today we celebrate you!

At 5, you love playing baseball, watching Tom & Jerry cartoons, Wii and singing in the choir at church. You adore your older brother and are always eager for him to come home from school. You are a peacemaker...quick to offer an apology when you have done wrong and even quicker to offer forgiveness when you have been wronged. Never one to turn down a hug, kiss or snuggle...you are very affectionate. You pray the sweetest, most tenderhearted prayers...often bringing tears to Mommy and Daddy's eyes. 

Not long ago, I asked you what you would like to be when you grow up. You answered, "I want to tell people about Jesus...and to be a baseball player." I think that sounds like an excellent plan, my son. And this is my prayer for you...that you love Jesus with your whole heart, follow Him in obedience and share His love and His power with others!

You are a blessing and a joy! I love you so very much!

Hugs and kisses,

Mommy
