the planting of the Lord

This past Sunday, March 6th, your dad and I made a commitment to raise you and train you to know God.  

Wow.   

Kinda a big deal.

 Of course we knew we would raise you in this way before we even knew about you,  but when I stop and think about the great responsibility we have as parents...it's kind of overwhelming.  Of all the things your dad and I might do, could do, will do, to further His kingdom...

our loving and teaching YOU to love the Lord, will be what has the greatest impact.  

We are so proud of you, Oak Jackson.  We pray that you will be called an oak of righteousness.  You have been planted to display His glory.  We pray the effect of your righteousness will be peace and the result of your righteousness, quietness and trust... that you would know and receive God's love, that you would be full of purity, in every way...That you would have an obedient heart toward God and a heart to know Him.  We pray that you would exude with thanksgiving, joy, peace, and a pure mind.

We praise God for you, Oak!  We love seeing Him, already, in your life!

"And I pray that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."  Ephesians 3:17-19
