Today we celebrated our daughter’s ninth birthday, and it feels like this year has been one of significant growth for her. She’s stepping into new responsibilities and discovering more about herself and the world around her.
As a family, we’ve had so many moments of fun and connection this past year. My wife and I have loved watching our daughter explore her creativity, make new friends, and deepen her faith. It’s also been a year where she’s taken on challenges with resilience, reminding us of how God is shaping her character.
My wife has been thriving in her new job, and it’s been a blessing to see our daughter look up to her mom as a role model. Seeing our daughter’s excitement about life and faith fills us with gratitude for God’s work in her heart and our family.
Reflection Questions

Prayer
Lord, thank You for our daughter and for the ways she is growing and changing. Teach me to guide her with wisdom and love, helping her to trust in Your plans for her life. Bless her with courage, joy, and a heart that seeks after You. I give You all honor, all the glory, and all the praise. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen & Amen.
