Pressing On

To my eldest, who is (as "everyone" says) growing up far too fast...I love you dearly and pray for you fervently.



You are done elementary school!
I pray that you will live up to what you already know and practise, that you will follow good examples and be a good example.



I pray that you will press on and grow in your faith. That you will know the amazing grace of God in your life as seen through the every day grace of great teachers and great friends.



You are such a gift to me.

So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. Learn to love appropriately, You need to use your head and test your feelings so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. Live a lover's life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of: bountiful in fruits from the soul, making Jesus Christ attractive to all, getting everyone involved in the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:9-11 MSG
