Today is …….

a special day for 2 very important  people in my life.

Firstly to the one who made me mother - my daughter who today turns 

10 

(photo is Renee when she was around a year and a half)

She’s excited and I know it’s a big moment for her, but I’m a  little sad.  It does make you realize how quickly they grow up.  Oh where has the time gone too?

Happy Birthday Renee.   I love you!!

"Grow in the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Get to know Him better. Give Him glory both now and forever.
Amen."
(2 Peter 3:18, NIrV)

And secondly….. 

Birthday wishes to the person I know as friend, counselor, and Mother.  Whom I know in my heart did the very best she knew for me and my siblings. 

I love her and I thank her.

Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.     Proverbs 31: 25

Who would have known that you would both share the same birth date!

Happy Birthday to the both of you.

I love you both now and always.

So although my mother is so far away from me I trust that she will be having a great day today.  I know that my sister will make sure that mum gets her favorite cake which is and has always been a Black Forest cake – oh yum! 

As for my daughter well it’s school as usual but her teacher has graciously allowed me to take in treats for her class.  Nothing too fancy - cupcakes and mini marshmallow smoothies.

I have a busy day ahead of me but all will be done in love.

the picture is of  my smoothie which I had to test before I make a whole lot for the kids.  It’s actually quite delicious.  The green box is a gift for Renee and behind the smoothie is the cupcakes which I will be frosting later on today.
