The whole nation celebrated my birthday in a sense when they were given a day off (public holiday). My girls and I went to visit Jul's grave in the morning.
This was followed with a small family gathering with some of our extended family members at William & Rachel's new place!
We celebrated four birthdays in one! Tony's, Jessie's, Miranda's and mine's. All our birthdays fall in the month of August. What joy to thank God for another year of health and blessings!
To borrow the words of Keith & Kristyn Getty's song, "May the Peace of God (Benediction)", I want to give my profound thanks to Him who made and saved us:
May the peace of God our heavenly Father
And the grace of Christ the risen Son
And the fellowship of God the Spirit
Keep our hearts and minds within His love.
And to Him be praise for His glorious reign
From the depths of the the earth to the heights of heaven
We declare the name of the Lamb once slain
Christ eternal the King of kings.
May the peace whic passes understanding
And this grace which makes us what we are
And this fellowship of His communion
Makes us one in spirit and in heart.
