THREE

Today, you are three, our most wonderful girl! Didn't we just meet you? Weren't you just thrown into my arms, all 8 pounds 4 ounces of wriggling you? This time has gone faster than fast. You have grown bigger than big! And our hearts are fuller than full.

Before you were born, I prayed for each little freckle...the mark of God's craftsmanship. I prayed for each stitch as he put you together. You are far more than we ever dreamed of you being and He had intended it from the beginning!

Precious one, you have been set apart and chosen as a covenant child. We praise the Lord for His mighty work in you. We have watched you chose obedience. We have seen you love others. We have watched you treat your sister with such grace, love, and patience. We have listened to your prayers and marveled in your knowledge and understanding.

You are gracious and kind, hilarious and witty. And while you have many moments that test the waters, you are gloriously wonderful. We love you. Happy third birthday, our sweet, sweet Little One!
