happy birthday to my Julie

It is her birthday, and I wanted to share a little bit about Julie with you.

She is a gift. My gift and our family.

She is a blessing. My blessings and so many others.

She is strong and confident. My confidence is built by her.

She is faithful and encouraging. My encourager.

She is a friend and a sister. To many, her family and more.

She is my Julie, my bride, my friend, my lover and so much more.

Proverbs 18:22 NASB

He who finds a wife finds a good thing And obtains favor from the Lord.

I do not want to do like alone, and for the last almost 28 and a half years we have done life together.

We have celebrated birthdays, weddings, births, graduations and so much more.

We have mourned the loss of a parent, the pain of struggles and the ups and downs of every day life.

We worship God together. We grow in grace together. We seek the Lord because we want to walk this life, spiritual and physical, together which makes us stronger and better.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 NASB

Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, just as you also are doing.

She is my encourager and builds me up, and I pray that I do more of that for her every day.

She is not just with me but she is for me. I can trust her and know that she will be close no matter what storm comes our way.

Proverbs 31:11 NASB

The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain.

Happy birthday to my Julie. I love you very much and so proud of who you are and grateful that we get to do life together.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
