Grant that she may grow in wisdom and grace

Tomorrow the OM and I are heading over to Illinois to visit daughter #2 and celebrate her birthday on Sunday.

In the meantime I have a lot to do. The boy is coming over tonight to help load up the car with stuff to take for her new house. Thankfully she is an appreciative recipient and welcomes all the odds and ends I can shove her way.

It goes without saying that I think she is a wonderful daughter, wife, sister, and mother and that we all love her.

But I will say it anyway. We love you, Susiebelle! Happy birthday!

Watch over thy child, O Lord, as her days increase; bless and guide her wherever she may be. Strengthen her when she stands; comfort her when discouraged or sorrowful; raise her up if she fall; and in her heart may thy peace which passeth understanding abide all the days of her life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
