Another birthday for one of our Youngun's today!!
Happy eighth birthday to our sweet Ariel!!
In celebration of 8 blessed years God has given us with you, we wanted to share 8 things we love about you!!!!
#1- Your shining smile brightens up the room and cheers our own souls.
#2- your JOYful personality, which goes with #1. That smile that shines so bright and beautiful come from the JOY deep down inside of you. Your JOY comes from our Lord and He blesses us abundantly through you!!
#3- Generosity - you are the first one to give your toy away in a squabble, the first one to give someone their own way and let go of yours in a disagreement, and when you get a new toy/game/candy the first thing you think of doing is sharing it.
#4- Whenever we see or hear an emergency vehicle, you are the first to remind us that we need to pray.
#5- This goes along with #1 and #2, but we absolutely love your giggle!!!!
#6- It is so exciting as a mother to see where God leads you in life, especially since He has planted on your heart a love of Blessed Mother Teresa, her order and a possible calling for you to join someday!
#7- You are such a helpful little girl. It is not uncommon that you come to me and ask "Mommy, is there something I can do for you?"
#8- We love your shorter haircut and how you love it so much. You know what you like and you aren't afraid to express it!! What an adorable girl you are!!
++Loving God, you created all the people of the world and
you know each of us by name. We thank you for "Ariel", who celebrates
her birthday today. Bless her with your love and friendship that she may grow in
wisdom, knowledge, and grace. May she love her family always and be faithful to
her friends. Amen. ++
