A Gift

We know you are a gift to your parents - they keep saying so.

We know you are a gift to your sister - she's said it a lot, too.

We know you have been a gift to us - but perhaps we've not told you often enough.

From the best VBS flight attendant ever to just a wonderful, joyful friend, we are grateful to the Lord for our friendship with you. God manifests Himself in you - His grace, His forgiveness, His unconditional love, and the sweetness of His presence. We see all of these qualities of His manifest in you.

You are a gift to us.

May your 50th be an overwhelming reminder of how many people are so fond of you.
