Love.

I watch you. I watch you sleep. Your eyes dance. Your mouth smiles. I see the future. I see your joy. I dream. I hope. Most of all I pray. Pray that you may always know, feel and receive the love that is offered.

Love from your grandparents. Who will love you through sharing traditions, gifts and the creation of special moments that will most likely involve ice cream.

Love from your brother. Who will love you through play, laughter and the occasional sibling rivalry.

Love from your daddy. Who will love you through constant protection, prayers and sharing of lessons learned.

Love from your mama. Who will love you through coaching, constant encouragement and what will be called tears of joy.

Love from the Spirit. Who will love you by guiding you, directing you and moving you to new places.

Love from God. Who will love you by knowing you, creating you and mentoring you through the life guide we call The Bible.

Love from your Savior. Who will love you with a love like no other love. A love called Grace. A love that surpasses all other loves. An unconditional love that you can always depend on. A love that will always save you. A love that will change you and allow you to change others.

Avery Elizabeth, may you always know you are loved. I look forward to being a part of your special life and watching you spread love through the world.
