Focus on da Family: October 2007 Archives

You were born 11 years ago today. We can still remember the sense of awe we felt when we held you in our arms for the first time. We were parents! God had given us a beautiful little daughter! We could see in you the glory of a loving heavenly Father who gives unspeakably good gifts to His children. You were and continue to be glory in our lives, the glory of God.

Our prayer for you, Hannah, is that there would be an overabundance of glory in your life. Not the glory of fame or popularity or accomplishment or prestige, but the glory of God. May you daily know the glory of His goodness, the glory of His saving name, and the glory of His sovereign graciousness. May you be a woman who seeks for glory and honor—not the glory and honor of your name, but the glory and honor of God in Christ Jesus.

Our prayer is that you be satisfied with the glory of God, that it be your great delight, your single passion, your rock of contentment, and your joy in the face of an unknown future. May your life be filled with the glory of God.

Happy Birthday, Hannah! We love you!!
