Happy Birthday Heather

Heather,


You have made it an interesting 16 years. I praise God I have been a part of your life for at least ten of them. Tuesday morning I prayed for you and asked God to help me with a gift for your birthday. He answered with a poem, a prayer, and a plea. This is yours. Nobody else can have it. I hope you take this to heart and know that Stacy, the kids, and I love you dearly. Be good and God bless.

A Poem

Heavenly Sunlight my soul sings to the music of God’s grace,
Extravagantly poured out in your laughter.
A rose, beaded with water that glistens, sings harmony,
To the melody of your quintessence.
Heather, a field of splendor singing sweetly in the breeze an,
Exquisite song of warmth, love, and,
Radiance.

A Prayer

Hear, O Lord my prayer for the heart of your child. Giver her
Eyes to see and ears to hear the blessed hope that comes in the
Atonement of your Son, where there is forgiveness of sins. May she
Taste and see that the Lord is good and be blessed by putting her trust in You. Do not
Hide from her your presence where there is fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore.
Enable her to behold the beauty and majesty of Christ, the
Radiance of your glory.

A Plea

Hide the word of God in your heart that you may not sin against Him. (Psalm 119:11)
Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise! Give thanks to Him and bless His name! (Psalm 100:4)
Abstain from sexual immorality; that you know how to control your own body in holiness and honor. (1 Thessalonians 4:3-4)
Trust in the LORD with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding…be not wise in your own eyes! (Proverbs 3:5-7)
Honor your father and mother that it may go well with you. This is well pleasing to the Lord.(Col 3:20; Eph 6:1-3)
Encourage and build up your family, friends, and neighbors. (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
Remember you are dust (Psalm 103:14) and will one day be no more. It is appointed for man to die once and after that face judgment. (Hebrews 9:27)

Be true, Be humble, Be real.

With much love,
Jason
