Seven Years

"Wake up mom, it's my birthday". That is how I was woke up this morning with a pounce. My little, curly haired, blue eyed Joshua is seven years old today. Wow! Time sure does go by fast. I remember when he was born and he was so little with red peach fuzz on his head. He was perfect! He has always been so sweet and such a snuggler. He still loves to snuggle. He'll come into bed in the mornings if he wakes up before me and snuggle up with me. He'll still climb up in the chair with me even though he almost doesn't fit anymore. I will never forget those special times. I fear that they will soon come to an end. I am so thankful to God for my Joshua. He's quit a boy. I love that he has such a tender heart. That he is so rowdy and rambunctious. He is very bright and loves to learn knew things. He loves reading to you and to himself. I love it when he says that he loves me more that anything in the world but that he loves God the most. He has a wonderful spirit and a strong will. I pray that I can be the best mother I can to him. I pray that God will help me to guide his spirit and will to become a wonderful Christian man. He has so much potential to be a strong Christian leader in the world. God bless Joshua in this next year. May he grow in strength and knowledge in the Lord.
