Thoughts from an Aunt

May you grow to be a Christian, who fears God and trusts him for strength, peace, and guidance. May you hold the Bible dear to your heart and cherish the truths of God's Word. May you sing songs and praises throughout your day that will bring you closer and closer to the Lord's will.

May you love your family. May you understand the importance of your parents, sister, grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. May you appreciate all the relatives that love and support you. May you look to your parents for guidance and correction.

May you be a life-long learner, always acquiring more facts, figures, and information. May you be discerning and wise in your daily walk. May you develop high thinking skills and deep understanding of truth. May you love reading, writing, math, and the arts.

May you have fun all the days of your life. May you find joy and appreciate the beauty of nature. May you paint pictures, run through fields, hike mountains, rock on the front porch, jump in a pile of leaves, name a pet, hug a friend...

Know that you are loved (by many.)
Listen carefully (and be slow to speak.)
Love (through a heart full of Christ.)
Stand firm (in the truth, without stumbling.)

My prayer is that God accomplishes all these things in your life!
