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

Emily,I have so many fond memories of time spent with you. Many times over, you were an answer to prayer. What stands out to me is your gentleness, compassion and nurturing spirit. This is the heart of a beautiful mother, wise teacher and kind friend. The images that come to mind when I think about you is your smiling, laughing face and your open arms which extended so often to the women of e~cafe and those around you. You have spread so much joy Emily and offer a safe place. What gifts! I will always treasure the season we were able to spend together and hope our paths cross again in the future. May you find that your 30th year is one of jubilee! Jesus, surround Emily with your hope, rest, comfort and shalom. Amen. Happy birthday friend! ~ Kelly Grace
