6 then 7

This week my Elijah turned 7 years old. I still can't believe it. I love that he is getting bigger and can understand more things and do big kid things, but I miss getting to just hug and kiss on him and I guess I'm not supposed to hold his hand anymore either. He may be getting bigger, but he will always be my "Tender Heart" and he does let me cuddle him from time to time! Though he has changed in many ways in the past couple years, his heart has not. He is one of the most giving and caring people I have ever met and he truly gets concerned over hardships of others. It is my biggest wish that God would teach me how to cultivate that strength in him, so he could use it to serve the Lord. My prayer for Elijah is that he might become a God fearing, serving, and loving man. I cannot imagine a minute with out my not so little Lij and I am blessed to have him in my life.

Happy Birthday Buddy!
