This photograph was taken of Elijah at 4 weeks old, he was such a big boy and weighed a whopping 15lbs.Watch over your child Elijah, O Lord, as his days increase; bless and guide him wherever he may be. Strengthen him when he stands; comfort him when discouraged or sorrowful; raise him up if he falls; and in his heart may your peace which passes understanding abide all the days of his life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. O God, our times are in your hand: Look with favor, we pray, on your five year old child, .... , as he begins another year. Grant that he may grow in wisdom and grace, and strengthen his trust in your goodness all the days of his life; through you. May Patrick and I be the parents you would want us to be and set a firm foundation for him, and continually pray, for and exhibit Christ's love. May we teach him to love others as himself, and may you send him many friends who love you, and people he can share the gospel with Lord. Please keep the evil one away from this boy, and allow him to be a great leader starting at home. We thank you for this little boy who has been such an amazing blessing to Pat and me. We know he belongs to you, we ask that he would know you all the days of his life. We thank you for the wonderful five years you have given to us with this guy. I pray that you would grow his gifts and talents each day so he would know just how to serve you as he grows Lord. He is an amazing artist at five years. He loves music and dancing, he loves nature, and leading others. He enjoys learning, and reading, and playing like boys do, he is so rough and tumble. He is shy, but learning to speak to others I pray that you will help be a great communicator. He loves sharing toys with his brother, and he loves his sister, I pray that you would grow their relationship in to a loving graceful, peacful kind friendship. Lord I put him in your hands he is yours please may he after your own heart.
