I love days like this. Today, we’re celebrating a blessing, the gift of our granddaughter. It’s her birthday, and I give thanks every day for the gift of this sweet young lady.
I remember like yesterday the day she was born 23 years ago. We always joke that the only reason to have kids is to one day enjoy the gift of grandchildren 🙂 . Our kids love it when we say that!
The Lord has truly blessed us with children and grandchildren, and today we celebrate you, Dakota. As has come tradition, one of the first gifts of the day is to share the birthday prayer with you.
Watch over thy child, O Lord, as her days increase; bless and
guide her wherever she may be. Strengthen her when she
stands; comfort her when discouraged or sorrowful; raise
her up if she fall; and in her heart may thy peace which
passeth understanding abide all the days of her life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Friends, take a moment today to cherish the gift of children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and all the family in your life. Take a moment today to let them know you love them.
Have a wonderful day, Dakota. We love you to the moon and back, sweet “kid”.
1 John 3:18
Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
