Happy Birthday M&M! Today we celebrated her 13th birthday!
I don't know why these milestone birthdays cause me to pause at the speed of time and how incredibly blessed I am by God. M&M is the second child in our half dozen. I often think that I should have named her Joy, because that is what she brings into my life.
In honor of her 13th birthday we had a very special birthday party celebration. M&M invited all the women in her life that she admires as faithful followers of Jesus Christ. She also invited their daughters and we had a splendid Tea Party!
At the party we ate scones with devonshire cream, finger sandwiches and, of course, tea! After we enjoyed the treats, M&M was blessed as each of the women read a letter written just for her. Each of these amazing ladies shared from their hearts. They shared scripture, words of wisdom and words of blessing.
As the mother of this amazing young woman, I was so touched to hear their words of praise and blessing for my daughter.
It was a perfect way to celebrate my daughter. I plan to create a scrapbook with all the words of encouragement that she will have to look back on as she goes through the teen years and on into adulthood.

Happy Birthday to my beautiful M&M! May God bless you and keep you. I am so proud of the young woman that you are and look forward to how God will work in your life in the years to come.I Love you Sweet Girl!

Hi,
Susan D shared your blog with me, and I am so glad she did. We will be leaving this month for our second trip to pick up our sibling set of two from Mekele through CHI. It is encouraging to have those who have gone ahead of me to follow. I am going to order those books right now and have a name of an attachment therapist for the future. Wish you lived in IN.
