For my David Alexander

I typically try to keep this blog light and happy. Not to say this post won't be happy but allow me a sappy post just this once.

In honor of someone who just turned 4 years old last week...

David: Beloved
adj. dearly loved, much loved
n. a person who is dearly loved, held dear

Alexander: Protecter of Mankind
n. a person who protects, a guardian

I would say he was given a name that suits him perfectly!






Lately the song "The Words I Would Say" by Sidewalk Prophets
has been really making me think about Davey as he grows.
Davey this is my hope and prayer for you.





Please join me in praying these words for my son as you think about him.



"Be strong in the Lord, Never give up hope.
You're going to do great things, I already know.
God's got His hand on you so don't live life in fear.
Forgive and forget, but don't forget why you're here.
Take your time and pray.
Thank God for each day."

I love you sweet Davey. God has used you as an endless source of encouragement and strength in my life. You are loved beyond measure and that doesn't include how much you are loved by your Heavenly Father.

David :Beloved...yes, you are!

That is a great song and the gentleman that sing's it is very down to Earth. May all of our children have those characteristics...

Krista and I had Lunch with the lead singer of the Sidewalk Prophets at Hollywood Studios (His name is David too)! If you look in the archives, I've done several programs from our conversations. Great song Jess.
