Stu-Bear, it's your 7th birthday today! I love looking back through pictures because they show me how very much you have changed, and how very much you have always been just who you are.
You were such a sweet, cuddly baby...
who eased into this sweet, cuddly, curious crawler...
...who eased into this introspective, curious, wonderful toddler...
...who eased into this curious, funny, wonderful little boy...
...who is easing into a funny, introspective, sweet, tender, growing up little man.
Stuart, God has given you a soft heart. Soft hearts are the very strongest there are, son, because soft hearts are moldable to Jesus. Soft hearts go into hard places and make them better with their quiet strength. Soft hearts look at the sad and hurting and strive to help them heal.
Oh, that you will grow to understand what strength there is in having a soft heart! That you will grow to understand what a gift Jesus has given you. That you will grow to understand that following Jesus with your whole life will allow you to reach into the hardest places and help the most hurting. That is what we pray for you, our tender protector.
Happy birthday to our growing up Bear. We love you so.
