(All the pictures are of things that greeted me when I got up this morning, my Birth Day)!
If you are reading this,
it means you are still alive,
and you can still breathe and see,
and you can hear me tell you that you are an incredible gift!
God designed you to be:
who you are,
a one-of-a-kind
Masterpiece!!
You possess in your heart and hands
the power of
hospitality,
mercy,
friendship,
giving,
love.
You are gorgeous,
creative,
charitable,
expressive,
thoughtful,
whimsical,
intelligent,
funny,
charming,
and
plain ol'
FANTASTIC!
You are the perfect mom for your children,
the chosen woman as wife to your husband,
the listening, caring, and attentive friend.
As long as you are here on this planet,
you have the opportunity to
make your home warm and inviting,
to show your creativity,
and honor all those who enter in.
You are the one who is given the privilege
of making your home
a most precious haven
for those who inhabit and visit it!
May this be a blessed day for you,
my friend.
Celebrate your arrival today!
Happy Birthday! Lisa~

ReplyDeleteHey Leslie! Thanks for your sweet blog comments. I actually found the table in a unusual way. I was in line in my car to drop off some things at a goodwill drop off...the car in front of me was pulling all kinds of things out of their car to give to the goodwill guy...they pulled out that table and I nearly had a heart attack and jumped out of my car. I shouted (a little too loudly) "ARE YOU GUYS GETTING RID OF THAT???" They said yes, and I asked if I could take it and they gave it to me! lol. Its so fun and it has a glass top. Its made of lucite and I know lucite tables are super pricey now days...especially vintage ones in good shape. Makes a great night stand! I'm still preggo...only 2.5 weeks to go...please keep a safe baby and safe delivery in your prayers! :)

Aw, Happy (belated) Birthday! What a nice breakfast tray, and what a nice post.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite line of all was this one:

of making your home

I just like the way you express that!
