A Birthday Wish/Blessing

 

  

Happy 26th Birthday, Melissa,

A hardworking, caring, compassionate, beautiful woman!

God bless you in the year ahead💝

This birthday wish, my dear is rather closer to a prayer
That God will bless and keep you in His ever loving care
For what more can we hope for than His hand over our own
And His abiding promise that we are never alone

This birthday wish my dear may look like ink upon a page
Its appearance quite common, while love walks/stumbles to center stage
And struggles to put into perfect words its tender art
For birthday wishes are a small piece of your mother’s heart

This birthday wish is like a blessing; filled with hope’s increase
That in the year ahead God’s presence brings you joy and peace
For what more can we ‘wish’ for than the confidence He grants
Of knowing He is with us no matter the circumstance

This birthday wish is like a candle when faith’s light grows dim
For all that changes, nothing ever rearranges Him
Where there is much more to this verse than first glance can impart
This birthday wish, my dear, is like a small piece of God’s heart

This birthday wish is rather like a prayer of thankfulness
No matter where we are He never leaves or forsakes us
Then, what more can we wish for in life’s little day-to-day
Than One who sees right where we are and hears us when we pray

Love, Mom

Prov.3:5-8

 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.^[a]

⁷ Do not be wise in your own eyes;
    fear the Lord and shun evil.
⁸ This will bring health to your body
    and nourishment to your bones.
