Yesterday, April 10th, Ford was dedicated at church. We were asked to do two things in preparation: 1) write him a letter for him to read 18 years from now; 2) choose a Bible verse to read over his life.
Life scripture: Romans 12:1 (The Message)
"So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life--your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life--and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him."
Life Letter: 18 years from now...
Dear Ford,
Mom and Dad love you SO much! As much as we love you, you have a Heavenly Father that loves you more than you can conceive. In every step of life, in both your successes and your failures, draw your strength and motivation through His love and grace. The Bible says, "For the mountains may move and hills disappear, but even then my faithful love for you will remain." (Isaiah 54:10)
The bottom line is this: If you can grasp even half of God's love for you, and love Him in return, then you will be pleasing to both us and your Heavenly Father. We love you.
Love,
Mom & Dad
