My Dear Samuel

“For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him.”—1 Samuel 1.27

This verse is short and sweet. And it’s why we named you Samuel. You were indeed prayed for, and you have been such a blessing to me. You were my little sweet boy with worms in your pockets, hunting for frogs, snakes, and lizards. And now you’re my big sweet boy with knives in your pockets, hunting for frogs, snakes, and lizards. I love that you are such an outdoorsman and enjoy God’s creation and learning about it hands on and that you encourage others—particularly Rebekah—to do the same.

You are hard-working, diligent, and dependable. I love you very much and am excited to watch you grow into a man.

Love,

Your brrr zrrr mrrr jrrr
