Blessing

A friend of my parents gave them a blessing plaque for Henry's room. They wrote a blessing for him and we put it behind the plaque and put the plaque on the wall. Dad read it to Henry in his room and then we put it up. It was so sweet, we all cried. And it was a great moment until our dog Roux decided to throw up in the middle of my dad's prayer. Oh well, that is how really life is. :) Here is a photo of dad reading the blessing and the blessing he wrote.



Dear Henry James Grady,

We speak the blessing of God upon you, our precious grandson:

May you grow up to keep God's word in your heart and obey it with your life.

May you be strong and courageous, not afraid or discouraged.

May your strength be equal to the challenge of your days because the Lord is with you always.

Most of all, our cherished one, may you love Jesus Christ and others with all of your heart for all of your days.

Your Grandparents, Bruce and Kathy Tippit
