Happy Birthday

It is sheer amazing that you are one year old, my Son.
The moment the first time we staring at each other's eyes at the maternity ward is still very vivid in my memory.
You have grown pretty fast, and have learned a lot in the past 12 months.
So do your mom and I.
My professor in bible seminary once said in the class, "God gives children so that the parents will grow."
Now I begin to understand what he meant.

12 months, you have learned to express your emotion and your will, and able to understand simple instructions from us. You understand and able to responce to words like: 'clap hands'; 'no more'; 'mom-mom'(eat);'drink water'.
You are growing fast under God's provision.

Friends and relatives celebrate your birthday with us.
It was a wonderful experience not only for you, but for me.
This was the first son's-birthday-celebration for me.You are too young to make any wish.
So, I made few on your behalf.
1. I wish Fidel grows up to be a toddler with faith in God.
(Remember the meaning of your name?)
2. I wish Fidel grows up to be a toddler that willing to share his toys with others.
3. I wish Fidel grows up to be a toddler that insterested in God's word.

In Jesus' precious name.

Amen.
