It’s Joseph’s Birthday!
July 2, 2008My son is 1 year old today. In honor of this special day in his life, I would like to make a request of you to give him a gift.
When I thought about the type of gifts appropriate for a 1 year old, I realized that he will most likely have equal appreciation for both the gift and the wrapping paper. With that understanding in mind, my request for a gift is focused on your heart for him as my son and as a child of God. The following are the types of gifts I would like for you to consider:
An encouraging word – this could be something as simple as a “happy birthday” greeting.
A Bible scripture – this could be your favorite verse.
A prophetic scripture – this would be a verse you sense God has specifically for Joseph.
A prophetic picture – this would be a vision you sense God has for Joseph.
A prophetic word – this would be a word or phrase you sense God has for Joseph.
I will be compiling all of these gifts into electronic form where Joseph will be able to access them later in his life when his knowledge and understanding have grown to fully appreciate them. Feel free to use various media types (video, email, paper, stone tablet, etc.). I plan to continue this for him every year where the year over year effect of these gifts will weave together into a tapestry of personal, scriptural, and divine encouragement for his entire life.
If you have already purchased a gift or still desire to give him a token of your love in addition to one of the heart gifts above, then please do so. If your generosity is swelling up inside of you and is about to burst, then consider making a donation to “Joseph’s Cup” as an option. This is a trust setup for the purpose of funding a non-profit organization which strategically and tactically works to combat the issue of the 40,000 children who die each day from starvation and preventable disease. The fact that you give will also be recorded with the gifts above for Joseph. It will also have a direct impact on Joseph’s life as an adult. Contact me directly for more information.
Thank you.
