Your day of birth …
Filled with possibilities. But mostly…
Filled with God.
With light and love that spans the universe
of who you are.
This is God’s gift to you.
Your heart’s calling to guide you.
How can this Gift be honored?
God expects nothing – but desires for you
happiness, to love as you are loved by Him,
and the fulfillment of your heart in growing
closer to Him,
My God’s light and love guide you
on this, your birthday and always.
