A Special Thank You

Today is one of those days I can't stop thinking about how lucky we are to have such an amazing support system around us. We are so thankful for all of our family, friends and even those people we don't know that are supporting us, helping us, praying for us and thinking of us.

Thank you to those who have made us meals, cooked for us and brought us food as cooking these days is just not a priority (especially since cooking has never been my strong suit). Thank you to those who have driven us, well driven me, when I was unable to drive myself to the hospital, doctors office, grocery store, etc. Thank you to those who have supported us, been there for us, prayed for us and prayed with us! It means more to me and Jonathan than you will ever know and we are forever grateful for you!

We also wanted to share a beautiful blessing that was prayed over our precious Jayden Faith by Deacon Joe Tumbarello. Thank you for such an amazing prayer and blessing (and also thanks for the yummy bundt cakes you brought us! We definitely enjoyed them!)

Jayden Faith Erickson

Blessed are You, Lord God, King of the Universe:

You have given us joy in the birth of this child. 

May Jayden be strong and healthy. 

Bring her to the grace of baptism,

and let her grow to full maturity in Christ. 

Let her become holy, a leader among your people,

and a source of strength and encouragement for all. 

Lord God, our Father,

Bless her parents and family,

and let her grow in wisdom, age and grace

before You and all your people. 

We ask this grace through Christ our Lord. Amen.
