Our 5-Year-Old Sam


Five years ago, Sam joined the Manor family. My mind still cannot comprehend it. This boy has added so much to our life and family and I cannot imagine life without him. In spite of his mischievous nature, he brings so much laughter and silliness and I'm so thankful God gave him to us.

Sam has grown so much in five years! Physically, he had grown a lot. He is our biggest so far, and being physically big sometimes fools him into thinking he is older than he is. He wants to do everything that everyone else is doing. He doesn't want to miss anything. Sam loves life!

But as with most kids his age it's really about what he wants to do and Sam is a very determined little boy. How we pray God will use that determined spirit to bring God glory!

Right now Sam loves movies and playing outside. He loves to quote movies and act them out. He loves to explore outside, especially in our bamboo forest. Sam began a junior kindergarten homeschool curriculum this year and loves doing his "school work". He is learning letters, phonics, numbers, shapes, cutting and eye hand coordination skills. Every day he asks if he has school work to do and gets so excited. Sam also enjoys building with Legos with his brothers as well as just spending time with his siblings.

We're excited to see how Sam will grow this year as he is in a huge growing stage right now. We trust and pray God will use Sam for His glory advancing His Kingdom.

Father, thank You so much for the gift of Sam! We know You have a plan for his life and You have already used him so much to teach us about Your goodness, Your faithfulness and Your Grace. Please save Sam by Your amazing grace that he may live completely for Your Kingdom and Your glory. Thank You for how You will use him for Your glory. We pray all of this is the powerful Name of Jesus! Amen!
