Dear Daughters,

Bailey - 4 years old

Lou - 2 1/2 years old

Parker - 7 1/2 months old

  • We love you more than you'll ever know. We tell you that we love you every day so that you will never forget how much we love you. As you get older, you may do things that will disappoint us, but we will always love and support you. No matter what.
    • 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 - "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
  • As much as we love you, God loves you even more.
    • Romans 8:38-39 - "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
  • Your sisters are your first best friends. They will be your last best friends. They will always be there for you.
    • Ecclesiastes 4:12 - "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
  • Be kind to everyone and in every circumstance. Be respectful of others.
    • John 13:34-35 - “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
  • Love yourself. Be confident in who you are. Be proud of yourself. Respect yourself.
    • Ephesians 4:1 - "As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received."
  • Make the most of every day. Enjoy life. Enjoy your family. Enjoy your friends. Enjoy God.
    • Proverbs 27:1 - "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring."
  • Pray daily. Talk to God as if He is your friend because He is your friend. He's excited to talk to you about the big events and the little events in your life. He will always be there for you.
    • Mark 12:30 - "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."
  • You were baptised as an infant, and we look forward to the day that you choose to follow Christ on your own. Be bold.
    • Acts 4:31 - "After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly."
  • Always be yourself. Be proud of who you are.
    • Romans 12:2 - "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
  • Your actions will always speak louder than your words.
    • James 2:22 - "You see that [her] faith and [her] actions were working together, and [her] faith was made complete by what [she] did."
  • Face all of life's challenges head on. We will be right behind you to back you up. Never give up.
    • Romans 5:3-4 - "...we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."
  • Set goals. Reach those goals.
    • Psalm 45:4 - "In your majesty ride forth victoriously in the cause of truth, humility and justice; let your right hand achieve awesome deeds."
  • You are perfectly made. You are beautiful.
    • Psalm 139:14 - "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
We Love You More,
Momma & Dada

Proverbs 22:6 - "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it."
