my 13 month old

Oh my precious Reece,
What love you are! What joy you are! You are such a gift from God and it is evident daily! Just this morning I was playing with you and looking at you, thinking of how much you have grown as you stood up staring into my eyes, smiling and laughing! You bring such joy to the Griffin family. 
It is amazing to know that you are 13 months old today! It is such a special time as you continually grow up in the admonition of the Lord. Your Daddy and I love you so much and are grateful to share this life with you. We thank God daily for the blessing He gave us when He sent you!
Psalm 127:3
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,The fruit of the womb is a reward.

We know that you are a heritage from the Lord! And just in case you're wondering little boy, the word "heritage" means: 

: property that descends to an heir: something transmitted by or acquired from a predecessor : legacyinheritance 

So, see Reece- you've been given to us by God. You came from Him and are a legacy and inheritance from Him! 
Wow! What an honor it is to be your mother and father. What a huge responsibility we have to train you up in the way that you should go, so that when you are old- you will not depart from it! We will continue to train you in the Lord so that you'll know the truth of His Gospel and be a witness for Him all of your life!
We love you, Reece! You add excitement and love to our lives! We thank God for you, precious 13-moth old! We look forward to the many more memories we get to make in this life with you!

love always & forever,
your Mommy & Daddy
