Madison, our months before your birth were a blessing and test to our faith. But you were a perfect healthy baby, unlike what we were told to prepare ourselves for. And you have been such a joy and blessing to have with us in everything we do. We chose Psalm 25: 4-5 for you as a verse to always come back to as you grow up. It says :
'Show me your ways, O Lord, Teach me your paths;
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long '
Lukas, you are still quite young and have been quite a challenge with your strong will, but every time we look at you and see your smile and hear your noises we are reminded of Jesus continuous blessings for you. I chose psalm 73: 24-26 for you :
You guide me with your counsel, and afterward You will take me into glory.
Whom have in heaven but You? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
God has given us both of you as a gift to raise and care for and we will do everything to point you to Jesus with his guidance and the help of our family and friends. We pray for both of you that you will one day accept Jesus Christ as your own personal Savior and that you may be a light to the people around you. That even as you encounter hard times, that you wont hide this light, but use it as your strength and your guide.

Being a parent is such a huge responsibility and you guys are one step ahead by trusting in God to help you raise Madison and Lukas!
I encourage you to read the book "Raising Godly Children in an Ungodly World" by Ken and Steven Ham, It is a book I wish would have been around when Amber was younger. I just finished reading it, and it is great.
