A Birthday Blessing

Birthdays are pretty awesome.

They mark the gift of days

 and months and years.

This year I was blessed by a special

 birthday tribute from my three daughters.

I was leading on the Extravagant Love Cruise

and on February 13, there was a very special highlight.

We have honored time together with the practice 

of noting the event by Bible Journaling together 

the same verse or an appropriate verse.

Isaiah 58:11 was the verse 

chosen by my daughters

 and journaled as a birthday blessing for this year.

Right in their own personal Journaling Bibles

I was given this gift "on ship" right 

before a morning Bible Study session.

Youngest daughter, Sara, 

was also on board and explained

 the surprise to the rest of the cruisers in our group.

I am blessed beyond measure.

And very, very thankful 

for this birthday celebration.
