Benediction
It was an incredible night. We were proud to show Ira off and those who attended were more than happy to be recipients of our pride. It's hard to take anything too seriously at Christ's Church for Brooklyn as two two-year-olds run around the room but it was a special evening nonetheless.
My favorite part of the evening was toward the end where people had the opportunity to speak a blessing to Ira. I stood in front holding Ira and voices spoke words of hopes, wishes and dreams for Ira. Some spoke of physical health, "May you continue to heal." Some spoke of ability, "May you sing like your mom and not your dad." Some spoke of attitude, "May you be laid back and able to laugh." Some spoke scripture, "May you run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint." Amen.
Thank you, family and friends. Thank you.

It was a wonderful night. Levi and I enjoyed were honored to be there.
Ira, may God's blessings cover your precious little head. May you feel your parents' love and affection and the protection of your big sister. May you know the grace of Jesus so deeply that you are compelled to share it with the world in a courageous and bold way. May you know strength and health in your life and may you learn to laugh with all of your being...from inside til it comes out in an amazing belly laugh that makes all around you laugh with you. May someday you find someone who loves you so intensely that they want to spend the rest of their life with you. May your life be long and your friends be many. We will all look forward to the day that you confess Jesus is Lord.
