Pray It Will Be...

"We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness." President Barack H. Obama
2009 Presidential Inaugural Speech

My prayer is that God will cause President Obama to see that this applies to all human life; even the life of our preborn citizens! May God enlighten Obama's heart and cause him to be instrumental in choosing a better history than the one set forth thus far; may God use him to completely uphold the God-given right to life and liberty - a chance for everyone to pursue the fullest measure of happiness in the United States of America!

Happiest 15th Birthday to Abigail

Abigail,

You woke today with a smile on your face and a secret in your heart. :)

I love your sweet little smile, your way of dressing, decorating, and the way you play the piano with feeling and delight.

I love hearing your sweet voice singing songs with the Ipod.

I love your cuddly self and the stolen hugs you let me take.
I love your sweet face.
I love your blue eyes, your beautiful hair, and your freckles.

I love the fact that you are taller than I am.

I love how hard you work in school - even when school takes you down a path
you would rather not travel! You have worked hard, by God's grace, to refrain from complaining when working on math!

You love to learn and I love to watch you learn and grow!

I love your sense of humor and how you surprise me with laughter when I am most serious!

Thank you for serving moms with small children. I know God is preparing you for your future. I love that you are embracing His plan for you even now.

Thank you for following Jesus and for continuing to hide God's word in your heart.

Most of all, I love you and every little thing about you my Abby-One.
Happy Birthday!!!!!
