  2. Dear John & Katie,

    Congratulations! Luca is adorable.:-)

    We are praying Psalm 18:34 for Luca's life.

    "[God] trains [Luca's] hands for battle, so that [his] arms can bend a bow of bronze" (NASB).

    And Psalm 18:36 for his feet.

    "[God] dost enlarge [Luca's] steps under [him], and his feet [do] not slip."

    May Luca's doctors be amazed at the strength of his hands and feet as he grows!

    In His love,
    Uncle Phil, Lynette, & family
