Day two hundred one
I am taking a break today from the normal post to share some thoughts about sending my missionary out. He is a great young man and will be a great missionary! I am very proud of him for dedicating two years of his life to the Lord. Through him God will change people's lives, what a great gift for him and for those he will teach.
As we drop him off at the MTC today this is the prayer I want to leave with my him:
A Prayer for My Son
Lord, please mold my son into a man who will measure his power and greatness not by his fortune but by his virtue.
Lord, let him walk on earth lightly, but firmly. Let him not carry any excess baggage of guilt, greed, and fear, but only the wisdom of his experience.
Lord, bless my son that he will know you and give him strength to endure what will come.
Lord, remind him often that through you all things are possible.
Lord, please hold him in your arms tightly when I can't and protect him from harm.
Lord, be with him always to lift him when he is down, to carry him when he can go no further, and to deliver him back to me safely.
I love you Ryan! Don't ever forget it!!
Mom
He will be in good hands. Not only those of Heavenly Father, but also in the hands of a very adept mission president. I hope he has the BEST companion to train him. THAT really helps set the pace for his mission. All the best to your family.
