Isaiah 61:11
For as the earth bringeth forth her bud,
and as the garden causeth the things
that is sown in it to spring forth;
so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise
to spring forth before all the nations.

Spring is such a welcomed season. It is even more special to me because our very first and only granddaughter was born on the first day of Spring. Today is her birthday. We will gather as a family and celebrate her tomorrow at her ‘Survivor’ party. Our Grands get to choose the theme for their parties. We will don our camo and other appropriate items to illustrate the theme. It will be an epic celebration of her 9th birthday!
Doubly blessed, our grandson was also born in the Spring. His celebration will be next month.
Addy we thank our Lord for you and how he created you. We are so thankful that we live close enough to watch you grow. We love your willingness to try new things and to work hard at developing special skills like Irish dance and piano. You are storing up God’s Word in your heart with all the Bible verses you are learning at Awana. Those will come back to you to strengthen you. Gramps and I pray that you will always know how much God loves you and how close He is to you. We love you, we love you, we love you!
It is sweet that you have your Granny and Granny Great living in the same town as you, too.
And here are a jumble of random photos from the past 9 years…
You are dearly loved and you have a wonderful heritage from God.
Happy Birthday, Addy!
