31 years ago the Lord placed me in the arms of a woman and a man for whom He entrusted my life and care into.
He picked them out specifically for me-knowing they would be the perfect earthly parents one of His own children could have until they (I) return to Him again.
He knew upon my arrival the importance He would need to be in their lives individually, together, and as parents once again for the third time.
Oh how important He was, is and will always be.
Not only did the Lord place me into the arms of this man and woman 31 years ago, but He placed me in the arms of two sets of grandparents who left an imprint of the meaning of for better or worse, till death do us part, as they both celebrated 50 years of marriage!
Rarity!
Today I am blessed to have a mom and dad who love the Lord, love one another, and love me.
Today I do not celebrate me, I celebrate them! It is because of them I have made it 31 years. It is because of them that in these 31 years, I have seen the reflection of the one for whom I am madly in love with today-Jesus.
And it is all because this man, my daddy, and this woman, my mama-made Jesus, Lord of their lives, their marriage, and our home.
So today I celebrate not me, but them! Today I celebrate Christ and the love relationship we have.
Today I celebrate because the Lord has picked Garrett and I out specifically for Avery and Dax. It is now our turn to instill, reflect, and build our home around Christ Jesus.
Mom and Dad I could not be more honored to have been placed in your arms 31 years ago. Today I celebrate you and the love you have for the Lord.
Daddy, one time you told me you and mama's only job was to ensure your girls went to heaven, well you have done that very job and you have done it well!
Today I want to give you both the gift of vowing to do the same thing with my boys!
Thank You! Today I am not celebrating turning 31, I am celebrating 19 years of being a child of God-because of you two!
Kisses sweet things,
Kristi
