Celebration of 34 Years

Thirty four years ago we added a beautiful boy to our family. Today we celebrated his birthday with lots of pizza, pop and cake. That was his choice of what to eat. Three hours were spent at Peter Piper Pizza with his girlfriend and her son. I remember when God gave me Sean. We were so delighted to have a young healthy son. The doctors thought he might have some medical problems since I had only been off the birth control pills for one week when I went back on. During that week the business his dad worked for had been sold and we had decided that it was not a good time to add another famiy member. But God gave me Sean during that week. My husband and his partners started their own Title Insurance business. The business was very successful.

We were delighted and today as he walked into the pizza parlor, Jesus Stands Behind You T shirt on and a half inch cross tattoo on his thumb, I knew God had a plan for all of us. I am so proud of my son, he is honest, loving, and a hard worker. He glows in his eyes when he looks at me and gives me the biggest hugs any one could share. This year he is giving me the gift of attending church with me on Christmas. That is ALL I asked for and that is what he has agreed on. I love you so much Birthday Boy. Love Mom

Yes, he is a blessing. I hope you have taken the time to express that Jesus does not stand "behind" anyone. He is the King of Kings and is sitting, deservedly so, on the throne of Heaven. And I pray that someday he will unerstand the need to be BEHIND Jesus.

But, I suppose it's a good place to start the conversation.

Jesus stands not only ahead of us but behind and beside us. I think the tee shirt was great.
