Affirmation 3.0 – noticing the character of God through the life of a child.
Jeff
Our son Jeff is an excellent communicator. (I know I’m his mom. Please indulge me.) Jeff has started writing liturgies to celebrate special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries.
Leah is 4
Our youngest GRAND-child, Leah (Jeff’s daughter), turned 4 last month. With Jeff’s permission, I’m sharing the liturgy he wrote for Leah’s birthday. I loved how he shared the character of God through the life of a precious 4-year-old. It took affirmation to a whole new level for me. May it for you as well.
I imagine at Leah’s young age, she doesn’t understand all her dad and the rest of her family have noticed about God through her life. But as she grows, I’m trusting she will come to see, understand, and appreciate these words of affirmation.
I’m very thankful for Leah Jane (my middle name is Jane too) and the joy she brings to our whole extended family. And I’m very thankful for Jeff seeing God through Leah’s life and stretching my understanding of affirmation.

This is beautiful!
God’s perspective, definitely a gift of beauty!
Love to you, Sue
Absolutely lovely! What a gift to Leah as she grows older in the Lord! Yes, there are definitely some “word smart “ genes in your family. Thank you so much for sharing
Word smart genes. You make me laugh!!
Jeff’s words are encouraging me to look for the character of God in little ones.
Hello Garry!
That is so very special and beautifully written.
Thank you Cindy. It’s amazing to me how truth can offer a different perspective to the realities of life.
Love you,

Love it! What a gift these liturgies will be as the children, including Leah grow older!
Thank you, Carolyn. I agree. They’ll understand much more as they grow. And hopefully they’ll learn to trust it.
Loved talking today!!! FMA, sue
