happy first birthday, B. for you, i made this. your mommy (my friend Emily) picked the verse 3 John 4 and i decided where to go from there. i painted a cross, off-center, on this canvas. then i mod podged pages from the Gospel of John. i painted your sweet little feet pink and let you make some footprints on the canvas. i wrote the verse: "I have no greater joy than to know that my children are walking in the truth," on the cross and around your footprints.

this piece is so special, because it reminds your mommy and, eventually, hopefully, you that you must strive each day to walk in the Truth. and i pray that every time your precious mommy sees it she will remember to pray for your salvation and walk with Christ, that you will grow each day closer to the heart of God and rest your head always upon His chest and cherish His Name. i know your mommy already prays for your salvation. you should know that. you are so precious to her, but you are even more precious to Jesus, sweet girl. that is why you are a Joy.
