Dominic is 7!

 

Dear, sweet Dominic,

We are so thankful for your life and the blessing you are to our family! You are a very special little boy. You love reading and have moved on to the big world of chapter books. You love rest time now because it gives you the peace and quiet to read for long periods of time. It is often difficult to get you to put down your book to do other things. Playing football and baseball with your brothers is a favorite past time. I can often find you and Jackson throwing the ball around (though neither of you have mastered catching, yet) or playing one-on-one touch football. You have a great thirst for knowledge. There wasn’t anything about school that you didn’t love! Math, Science, reading, and, of course, PE and recess were the parts of your day that you enjoyed the most. You are often the peacemaker in the family and your younger brothers really look up to you. You are such a help with Lucy, too, and you can always make her smile! What makes us so proud, though, is your awesome love for Christ. I am truly humbled by your unique relationship with Jesus. If you are ever drawing or writing stories, it is almost always about Jesus. One night, as I was tucking you into bed, you told me, “After you turn off the lights, mom, I talk to Jesus for a bit. I’ll pray for my family and friends and then I just listen to hear His voice.” When I asked if you ever heard Jesus speak to you, you said, “No, but I just keep listening.” You beg me to let you earn money by doing chores because you want to give all your money to the poor. I’ve reminded you a few times that you are welcome to keep some of the money for yourself, but you always tell me, “Mom, I don’t need money for anything, so I can just give it to people who don’t have money or food.” We are so excited to see how Jesus will use you as His instrument in the world! Happy Birthday, Dominic!

 

Love, Mommy
