Today my firstborn son A.J. turns 9.
Dear A.J.,
May the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Love,
Dad

Dearest Little Giant and Mighty Warrior of Faith! Happy birthday seems a bit trivial. So therefore, unto you, I send a prayer for His blessings and His mighty Name to be made known through your witness! May the Lord grant favor unto you in all you do, as you grow to be a great man of Faith. The Lord has His hands upon you and we want you know, so many of us older folks are blessed to see your faith and powerful witness at work. I still think yours and Josh’s attempt at reliving the nailing of Luther’s 95 Thesis at Westminster is a good idea.
Happy Birthday A J.!
A prayer for A. J., as well as for all the children of Redeemer Presbyterian Church; from the Book of Common Worship 1946.
O Heavenly Father, who long ago didst watch Thy Son on earth grow as in stature so in wisdom and in perfect love of Thee; Teach by the wondrous life of Jesus and His Church the children whom Thou watchest now; that they may grow into His likeness, loving Thee, obedient to Thy will, and happy in Thy house; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, be with you henceforth and for ever. Amen.
AJ - Happy Birthday from a family you don't know in New Jersey!!
