Oh Lord, Help me...

Oh Lord, help me to not only love and train my children. Help me to see their giftings and grow them into service unto you!

Help me to take Ella Reese's adventurous spirit...
...and transform it into contentment in Christ Jesus alone.

Help me to capture her determination.

And guide it to become a desire to "work unto you" Lord. To yield her determination to serve those around her with JOY!

Help me Lord to take her creativeness...

... and direct it to bring Joy to others and glory to you !

Help me to capture her energy and endurance....

...and mold it into a passion to serve her family and do good works to those around her.

And Lord, help me to teach Ella Reese, by example, to take moments alone to be with you.

And now Lord, help me with my Dean-0!

Help me to transform his kindness towards people....

...into a heart of compassion for those who are lost and without Christ. Yield his love to talk and converse into a passion to worship you Lord!

Help me to take his habit of following Ella Reese, and others around him,...
And transform it into boldness and leadership.
And Lord, help me to render Dean's joy for life and transform it into JOY in the Gospel !

I cannot do any of these things without you, God! Help me to rely on your Word, your strength and your grace !
