Micah turned twenty-eight yesterday! The day started out with breakfast in bed, a tradition that carried over from my family growing up. Micah loves his annual breakfast in bed, and now so does Skylar. I even made heart shaped pancakes (totally something Cheri would do).
Skylar was eager to help Micah unwrap a couple of birthday presents. He actually didn't get to unwrap anything yesterday thanks to his little helper.
Skylar picked out daddy's birthday cake at the store and got him some balloons. We forgot to get candles though.....so we stuck a great big one right in the middle. It took a couple of rounds of "Happy Birthday" before we could get to the end without Skylar blowing out the candle.
Happy birthday to a fantastic husband and father, we love you!
Perfect.. thank you Keri! I felt like I was there...
ReplyDeleteYou are wonderful!
Happy Birthday Baby Boy! I love you and I am so very proud of you! You are amazing.. Only God knew what a gift you really were to us all.
Colossians 3 :17 Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
AND...This you do so well!
I am glad Skylar could help you enjoy your day! Your cake looked yummy!
HUGS, Love and Prayers!

One more scripture...
ReplyDeleteMicah was named from the Bible... he was named afer a prophet. I went to Micah 7 (the day of your birth).. read it. I really liked Micah 7. Verses 1-6 are the acknowledgments of what is going wrong, then starting with verse 7 through the end of the chapter! Victory!
Funny how you are called to be a "warrior" serving U.S. and Him!
Micah 7: 7-20
7 But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the LORD;
I will wait for the God of my salvation
My God will hear me.
8 Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy
Though I fall I will rise;
Though I dwell in darkness, the LORD is a light for me.
9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my case and executes justice for me
He will bring me out to the light,
And I will see His righteousness.
10 Then my enemy will see,
And shame will cover her who said to me,
"Where is the LORD your God?"
My eyes will look on her;
At that time she will be trampled down
Like mire of the streets.
11 It will be a day for building your walls.
On that day will your boundary be extended.
12 It will be a day when they willcome to you
From Assyria and the cities of Egypt,
From Egypt even to the Euphrates,
Even from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.
13 And the earth will become desolate because of her inhabitants,
On account of the fruit of their deeds.
14 Shepherd Your people with Your scepter,
The flock of Your possession
Which dwells by itself in the woodland,
In the midst of a fruitful field
Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead
As in the days of old.
15 "As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt,
I will show you miracles."
16 Nations will see and be ashamed
Of all their might
They will put their hand on their mouth,
Their ears will be deaf.
17 They will lick the dust like a serpent,
Like reptiles of the earth
They will come trembling out of their fortresses;
To the LORD our God they will come in dread
And they will be afraid before You.
18 Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity
And passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession?
He does not retain His anger forever,
Because He delights in unchanging love.
19 He will again have compassion on us;
He will tread our iniquities under foot
Yes, You will cast all their sins
Into the depths of the sea.
20 You will give truth to Jacob
And unchanging love to Abraham,
Which You swore to our forefathers
From the days of old.
