Emily, It has truly been and is such a blessing to have you as a friend. It has been so fun to get to know you and I am so fortunate to also have you as prayer partner. I value your faithfulness as a friend and your heart to encourage others. I have appreciated the times when I have come to you discouraged or heavy laden. In those times, you have shown yourself to be such a great listener, and you truly have a way of encouraging others by using God's truths and Word. I think you do a great job at finding balance in life by making sure you spend time with God and time relaxing during your down time. I admire that in you and it is something that I strive towards.
I hope you have a simply splendid birthday and that you feel truly celebrated. I hope and pray that the Lord will lavish you and your family with His great love, peace, and joy in this coming year.
Love, Jess
Joel
Honey, I can write you a nice little note telling you how much I appreciate you and love you...and I'm sure you'll be touched by it. But I've done that before and it just feels insignificant. Plus, I know in the back of your mind you will always have that typical spouse-like feeling of "well, you have to say that, it's my birthday and you are married to me!" So, instead of JUST writing you a letter telling you how I feel about you, I thought I would back it up! These people in this blog are not married to you, and THEY DON'T HAVE TO SAY IT! They love you (not half as much as I do though). Bookmark this blog and read through these truths about you and the impact you've had on people and simply be refreshed. I love you
