Birthdays!

Wow! April seems to be a hot month for birthdays!!! I thought I'd write an ode to you all!

My brother Jeff, April 15th: I hope your day was filled with fabulous things to eat!
My Dad Stephen, April 16th: I hope you enjoy an extra long motorcycle ride and hugs from your "neighborhood granddaughters," and your wife, of course;)
My cousin Jonathan King: April 16th, I hope you bask in the joy that comes from being anointed by the one true King, our Savior! You are a true example to us all!
My dear friend Kristen Rabler: April 17th, I hope your students do something extra special for you!
My "twin" cousin Christopher: April 18th, I hope you enjoy a day of non-stop physical energy!
My two sisters Julie and Jesse: April 23rd, I hope you enjoy a day of pure kindness from everyone who has the privilege of interacting with you! You are the best sisters in the world!
My dear friend Heidi Decker: April 24th, I hope you enjoy a smooth-sailing day at work and overwhelming love from all your friends!

(My precious kitty Miss Traminette: April 27th, I hope you are sleeping well at night. I miss the warmth you brought sleeping by my tummy;)


And to you all: I pray that you are seasoned with salt to speak the good news of Jesus, to shine like the sun, and to be a city set on a hill in the calling to which God has placed you. I love you! Joey
