True Thanksgiving

I wanted to post this a couple of weeks ago and couldn't find time to do so. I have written to each of our boys and placed it in their baby books. I also felt led to give them each a verse to stand on through life. Here's Braxton's letter.....

Dear Braxton Elliott,

We just finalized your name yesterday (11/9)! We always knew God knew your name, it just took us a while. Wow, this is the 3rd time I've written to a new baby boy of ours. How blessed we are that you are coming to us! We are so thankful for your health and that you are completing our family. We pray that you will be a strong man of God as you grow up- Your brothers; Marschall and Garrett have been so excited to meet you and help take care of you. They will be your true friends for life. We pray that you all will support and care for one another as you grow up. Most of all that you will point each other to life in Jesus- this is where true happiness and contentment lies, nothing else will satisfy. We pray for your protection spiritually and physically. We've loved you since we found out we were having you, our love for you is unconditional. We look forward to getting to know you and loving you the way you need to be loved. We can't wait to meet you. I love feeling your kicks inside me and look forward to holding you and seeing the baby God has been growing inside me. Just know you are special and God has purposely placed you in our family.

"Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it." 1 Thessalonians 5:23
