24 years
of Your faithfulness.
–
288 months
of life’s both blessings and mess.
–
8,760 days
or even more,
–
I will sing
of your praise,
–
until that day
when my soul to You will soar.

You’re welcome. I hope your birthday was a happy one. I’d send you some of the snow outside but it’s going to warm up enough to melt some of it.

Happy Birthday Rosema. Enjoy your 24th with family and friends. And if I may add my on wisdom ( lol all 6.5 years more of it) enjoy your twenties and be free to live. I know you have responsibilities but never forget to spend nights just having fun with your friends drinking wine (or whatever) and having good conversation. I pray God keeps you close to him all the days of your life 🙂

Awww. Thank you, Mandi! 🙂 I don’t drink wine or any liquor (but I have nothing against them :D), but thank you for reminding me to have fun. You are right, I should enjoy my 20’s years. 🙂
Really appreciate it, Mandi!:D
