Growth is just a fact of life. Just take note of the pictures below.

His physical changes are most noticeable! And intellectually he can handle a much more challenging game. He has grown in his vocabulary, abilities, and wisdom. With time, he has even grown and matured in his faith.
I can't wait to see what Kyle will look like in another eleven years. He'll be a young man, with a job or career, and possibly a family of his own. Where he will live, go to church, or have a ministry, will be such a joy to behold.
Above all, I pray that Kyle continues to grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ!
I pray that he grows in his faith.
I pray that he grows in holiness.
I pray that he grows in obedience and joy.
I'm trusting that God is going to do amazing things in his life! Grow, Kyle, grow!
Lord, thank you for your faithfulness and love, as you have helped my children grow. Thank you for giving them good health, able bodies, and sound minds. Through the years, you have protected them in so many ways, and you've always guided them day by day. Lord, I pray that you continue to grow them up to be wonderful adults who love you, serve you, and know you intimately. Grow their faith in you, and teach them to trust in you for their daily needs. As they come to your Word, make it alive to them, so that they grow in their knowledge of you. Lord, don't ever stop parenting our children, helping them to grow into adults who live for you. Daily pursue them in ways that they recognize it's you, and come to know and believe in your deep love for them. Thank you, Lord, that you never leave your children the same, but you're in the business of changing our lives through your love. Oh, God, you are so good!
