on his eleventh--ELEVENTH!--birthday,
hard as it is to believe.
Thank you for him and his ebullient spirit,
his brilliant mind and tender heart,
and his blessedly good health.
Please continue the good, good work you began in him,
and for which I prayed at his dedication,
making him like Enoch, who walked with God;
like Gideon, who though the circumstances of his birth
were far from perfect,
who though his family was of no reputation,
though he had many disadvantages in life arrayed against him,
learned that with God even the smallest can be great;
and making him like David, the man after God's own heart,
who knew what it was not only to walk with you
not only to fight and win great battles on your behalf,
but also to dance before you.
Make it so, in this boy's life,
on today, his birthday, and every day to come.
Give him and his amazing parents and sisters
every blessing and every advantage,
in Jesus' name, amen.
