Orrin is ONE... and PRAYing for our children.

Happy Birthday Dear "Buddy-Buddy" as Bella calls him.

It really is so hard to believe that it has been a year!!

Our sweet baby Orrin

a few hours old.

Orrin's Birthday Breakfast

Cream of Wheat with blueberries

[poor Orrin with his diet restrictions, no french toast for him]

Figuring out ( after the fact) the blowing out the candle part!

Made me laugh!

Trying out Orrin's big boy car seat that came in the mail today.

and it seems GREEN was the color of the day.

Pictures of Orrin's party are still to come ...I have been having technical difficulties and time issues.

Hopefully soon.

ARE YOU PRAYING FOR YOUR CHILDREN?

Praying specific prayers for our children has always been something that I have felt the need and had the privilege to do. So I was thrilled when Angie @ Bring the Rain (link is also in side bar) made a great example for us as Christian parents by challenging us to pray 7 times a day for 7 days, connecting to activities to remind us to do so. Please take a look and consider joining her in this. All that we do for our children is nothing with out HIM, our LORD. Pray!

Some birthday prayers for Orrin William as he grows from 1 to 2

Father God,

May Orrin feel your presence always

The LORD replied," My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest. Ex 33:14

May Orrin learn to praise you with song from his mouth and have a thankful heart.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trust in Him, and I am helped.

My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. Ps 28 :7

May Orrin learn that in obeying his Papa and Mama he is obeying

and glorifying YOU our GOD.

(and may I as his mother not allow him to continue in sin even

when I think they are "little, not going to matter sins". Whining is sin.)

Orrin, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Col 3:20

Lord, May Orrin learn the value of sharing with his sister and friends

Give to everyone who asks of you, Orrin, and if anyone(Arabella, etc.) takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Luke 6:30

Father, We give Orrin back to you. Help us , mold him into the young boy you want him to be. Praising you our Heavenly Father,

your children t&b
