It will be a pure joy to watch His plan unfold in your life.Ĭanon, before I ever married your grandmother, I had dreams of having children. I can’t even imagine the ways that He will use you. You see, I know God has great plans for your life. It will be so exciting to see how God will direct you and how He will use you. Of course, I don’t know what paths you will pursue, but I will be there to encourage you, to cheer you on, to remind you that you can do anything in God’s strength. I already have dreams of taking you to the beach, to football games, or wherever you would like to go. The years are going rapidly, and I want to spend as much time as possible with you. I want to be with you as much as we can be together. Nothing will be more important than talking to you. When you get old enough to use the phone, your calls will be a priority. I want to heed to their desires for your life and follow them accordingly. I want to be the type of granddad that always supports your parents. You have been given an incredible mom and dad. I commit to being supportive of your parents in all they do to raise you in the ways of the Lord. I pray that you will discover the grace that comes by faith in Jesus Christ.

Above all, I will pray for your salvation. I will even begin praying for the right wife for you, even though that’s years down the road. I will pray for clear direction from God for you. But please hear some commitments I am making to you and God as your life unfolds. Though you have been in this world for just a few days, we already love you so much.Ĭanon, I want to be the best granddad possible, but I know I will make some mistakes. You are such an incredible blessing to us. Your Grandma Jo Jo cried openly when she saw you. Still, our hearts melted the first time we saw you. We had hoped to be there at your birth, but we missed that moment by a few hours. Your grandmother and I drove through the night for over nine hours. You came into this world in the early hours of October 14, 2009.
