Celebrate Merr!

September 21st, 2008

Happy Second Birthday, Merr Merr!

She’s our first child to have consecutive birthday blog greetings since her birth, and boy, has time flown! I teared up earlier today in the kitchen thinking that two years ago our little girl was born right above us in this very house on such a wonderful, memorable day. I’m still so giddy that God brought her into the world on my favorite day - the first day of Fall, too!

Oh, Meredith, you are so loved (and lovable)! You are hilariously entertaining, and uh hem, every day you are holding up a mirror in front of me. I’m afraid, dear darlin’, that you are the most like me of all the kids in our family! You are intense, determined, stubborn, extremely bubbly to the point of being cheesy, values-oriented, evangelistic about everything, and have to know WHY all the time! Oh girl, it is so fun to watch you grow! I love you so much and pray for you every day!

I want to rewrite a prayer that I posted for you on your last birthday:

A mother’s prayer for you…

Dear holy Father,
Your ways are perfect, and You are the giver of life and all good things. You have given us this beautiful child, and I know she is Your possession, entrusted to us, to nourish and tenderly love with our eyes on You, our faith in the finished work of Your Son Jesus, and our love fervently planted in Spirit-guided hearts. Please place Your favor on our baby girl, and draw her heart to You every day of her life. Open her eyes to the richest knowledge of Your love, and may the world around her always know that she belongs to You. Give her hope, joy, and great work to do here in Your world with her hands and feet. Protect her from the evil one, and build a foundation of Your Word in her growing heart and mind. I pray for a man to one day be her husband, that even now he would be living in a loving family and learning about Your Son. Bless our sweet Meredith, in the name of Jesus, and may the rain of Your grace fall on her life like an early-morning shower.

    She is indeed fun right now (and hard at times, too)! We just had a small party at the house; that’s kind of the tradition with our kids’ birthdays - keep it small and low key with a nice dinner and dessert and people to love on the birthday boy or girl! :) I made her a twirly skirt and new blanket, and she also received clothes from other people… and she was totally thrilled with that! She loves clothes! :)
