Happy Birthday Grace, though I know it’s a few days early.

Amazing, intense, full of life, determined, energetic and passionate Grace.

The force in which you fought for life in your early days in the NICU is now a force for us to be reckon with. 🙂

You put every ounce of your being into living. There is no in-between. A perfect example is how you love your brother. You can be screaming at the top of your lungs one minute clawing at him in anger or the next minute we will find you jumping up and down cheering him on. Fully, passionately, purposefully. No reservations. All in. We never wonder how you feel about something. It’s written on your face and in your body language. And then we hear you. 🙂

My prayer for you this year is to take that passion even at the young age of almost 7 and allow God to wrap His arms around you and mold that passion and love of life.

Colossians 3:23New International Version (NIV)

23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
