Three years couldn't have gone by any faster than these last three with you. Your daddy and I have seen you grow, stumble (literally - remember that broken arm 2 years ago??), and really just blossom into a beautiful little girl. I can't wait to see what the next 3 years bring.
I pray for you, Mackenzie, that you might know the Lord & his deep, great love for you. I pray that you love him in return & learn to do good things in his wonderful name. I pray for your future - for the man you might marry one day. That he be blessed with the opportunity to grow up in a family of love, like you, and be taught to love the Lord with all his heart. I pray that you never be tainted by the evils of this world. It's a scary place and I pray that it never changes your sweet, innocent spirit.
Thank you for loving your momma when I lose my temper with you. You helped me to see the beauty in the little things. I may not be the best momma out there, but I know that no one else could ever love you as much as I love you. Never forget that!
And so, as you leave your "terrible" twos behind you and bound into your 3s and above, I pray for you that you remain safe and loved and keep getting and giving those "big squeezy hugs!"
I love you with all my heart,
Momma
