Dearest Wife,
Happy birthday.
The wonder of you— this I treasure.
The beauty of your spirit— this I cherish.
Your welfare— I seek.
Your life and honour— these above all else I defend.
On this day I call on God to bless and keep you;
May God today shine His face upon you;
May He be gracious to you;
May He lift up his countenance upon you, and endow your peace.
For this new year—
May there be a performance of all He has spoken;
May He today remember all desires of your heart;
May He endow you with all fullness of His blessing;
With every good and perfect gift—
May today God smile on you; on your birthday.
Monte posted this poem on my Facebook wall on 5th November. I count it a privilege to journey with a wonderful and loving husband for these past 12 years. It is an awesome journey in tasting the goodness of our faithful God. United as one, we pushed boundaries and explore some of the most amazing things that God has allowed us to experience. We continue to seek His face and know His heart cry. We know the shortness of life, we live each day longing for more of the Lord and less of us. We learn to live life to the fullest; we learn to seize the day and allow the Lord to do anything He wants to accomplish in and through us knowing that our lives are not ours but His. We give Him the pre-eminence and glory for He alone deserves our praise, worship and adoration for all the days of our lives.
