Happy Birthday
Well, I noticed the ID of this blog post is 711... and while the circumstances for this wish are not ideal, I still love her and wish her the best.
This is your number forever. God bless you, the one whom I love. I miss you. I wish things had turned out different - a lifetime of birthdays! I know our life together was blessed. At any rate, you have been released to your will. I have done all I can to love and restore. May it be recorded that I have loved, and I have done it well to the end, God as my Witness, Source and Strength (enough). I held you in my hands for a time, as long as you were mine to hold. Now I release you into God's hands. Not because I want to (never ad infinitum), but because I can do no other. For this I will never stand condemned. The Alpha and Omega Himself has called me by name and declared long ago of His work, "It is finished." Amen!
Have a good year... and well, a good life. Continue to trust and serve the One who has sustained you from birth.
Ah, Lord God
Thou hast made the heavens and the earth
by Thy great power
Ah, Lord God
Thou hast made the heavens and the earth
by Thine outstretched arm
Nothing is too difficult for Thee
Nothing is too difficult for Thee
O great and mighty God
Great in counsel and mighty indeed
Nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing,
Nothing is too difficult for Thee
The Lord giveth, and He taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name
Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name
Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
