“Children” are a wonderful thing. They are precious to behold.”
Babies are so special. They literally will change your life forever. For sure your sleep patterns and your budget. Before we pray with these parents this morning, let’s look at a few things.

1. Children are of God

Isaiah 44:2 NKJV
2 Thus says the Lord who made you And formed you from the womb, who will help you: ‘Fear not, O Jacob My servant; And you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
We read several accounts in God’s word where He “knew” you before you were ever born. Which tells me that you are someone before conception is made. So while the debate continues over when you are a human being and when you are not: You become somebody when God knows you.

Not only does He know you but He also formed you.
He made Braydon exactly how he wanted him to be. He determined his eye color, hair color, tone of his skin, and pitch of his voice – God made him beautiful in every way. Children are of God!

2. Children are also a Gift

And what a precious gift they are. They are a gift that need not be taken for granted.
Braydon has been blessed. Kerry and Kimberly have been blessed with a precious gift from God.
Kerry and Kimberly:
That it is why it’s so important for you to be the parents that God has called you to be. He has trusted you enough to give you this new addition to your family.
· Keep him in the atmosphere of a loving father and a caring mother.
· Keep him in a place where he can know about God.
· Keep him in church where he will one day come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Children are a precious gift from God – but they do bring great responsibility. And I know you guys are up to the challenge.

3. Children are Grand

It’s been said that the wonderful thing about Grandkids is that you can love them and spoil them but most importantly – You can return them.
You spoil them and feed them and load them with sugar and then you hear Grandpa say, “It’s time to go back home”
Matthew 19:14 NKJV
14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
Grandparents – The responsibility does not only lie with the parents. You too, have been blessed with a gift from God. And it is your responsibility to oversee the raising of Braydon Lee.

Not to the point of telling Kerry and Kimberly how to raise him, but you are to offer encouragement and wise counsel. Let them know that you there to help.
· To offer some Mom & Dad time away from the kids.
· To pray for their safety
· To pray for Kerry and Kimberly as they make many decisions that affect this precious gift from God.
And in closing: my final point
Remember:
Braydon is of God
He is a precious Gift
He is Grand
