loveliest birthday ever...

Prayers really do answered and wishes do come true.  It may not come as much as we want too but in the end its worth waiting for. Ànd what we are right now is the true manifestation of that. 

 As you celebrate another year of life and love I pray nothing but what your heart's desire. another year, to savor life to the fullest and continue exploring life. May God abundantly blessed you (both tangible and intangible), so that you can aways be a blessing to others. You have touch so many lives because of your kindness, generosity, and unselfish love and thats what I admire most about you.

 For these past few months you have been my constant companion, my comforter, my listener,  the reason of my every smile. To you I was able to show off the real me without hesitation, without even thinking of judging me.  Thank you for allowing me to enter and be part of your life.  Thank you for all the laughter, for your care and your love.

You're one of the most precious blessings that I ever have and I'll be forever thankful to  God for allowing me to know you and share life with you.

Again may you have the loveliest and happiest birthday ever....Looking forward to spend more years of  love and friendship with you....

Pull the weeds


“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering: (for he is faithful that promised;)” Hebrews 10:23
There I was standing in our garden looking around. Was I looking at all the beautiful flowers that the recent rains have watered? Yes, the flowers were in bloom and colorful, but there was something else growing right next to them. What were they? Weeds! Where did they come from? How did they get there? The weeds just didn’t appear out of thin air. They planted themselves and grew. If I would be honest, those weeds have been there for a long time. Oh, I saw them when they were small intending to pull them up, but I never did. The weeds continued to grow. I continued to walk past them everyday thinking to myself, “I must pull the weeds,” but I did not do it. The next thing I knew, the weeds were tall and their roots deep. Finally, I had enough. I put my gardening gloves on and set out to pulling the weeds. If I would have pulled them up when they were smaller, the job would have been easier. But my unwillingness to act, made pulling them now hard work. The same is true for the weeds of doubt, unbelief, worry, concern or anxiety that grow in our hearts. We know they are there, but refuse to pull them up. When we do this we are leaving the weeds unattended to choke our faith. I say, “NO MORE!” Don’t allow weeds to grow in the garden of your heart unchecked. It is allowing doubt, unbelief and the like to grow in our hearts that cause us to waver in our faith in God. God always has been and will continue to be faithful to us and we must be the same toward Him. Hold on to your profession of faith! Take inventory of the garden of your heart and quickly pull any weeds you find trying to grow there. You will be glad you did!

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I take inventory of my heart before You right now. Any doubt, unbelief, worry, concern and anxiety I pull up from my heart and cast them aside. I trust You! My faith is in You and You alone! I hold on to my profession of faith and I thank You for being so faithful to me! In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.
