2 Corinthians 9:15 - Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
Tomorrow my husband will celebrate his 31st birthday. I am a firm believer that after you pass the age of 18, birthdays are just day of ordinary circumstances, and much more so when your birthday falls on a Monday. While just another day for adults most of the time, it is still customary to give someone a gift on their birthday (which Camdyn and I gave him this morning, since he will be working tomorrow), wish them a Happy Birthday and then the day passes away for another 365 days.
Today, as I spent the entire day with my husband I thought not of the gift I gave him this morning or how I would choose to wish him a happy birthday tomorrow but of the gift I had been given when he was formed by God and born into the world on September 14th, 1984. Although I wasn't yet born, God knew and had in his amazing plan, that we would meet in our lifetime, marry, and start a family. We were part of eachother's plan and for that I am grateful.
His birthday is a true gift to me, a true and perfect gift from God. Not only did God give me William as my husband but he also gave me...

A comforter when I am sad
A stronghold when I feel as though I may slip
Laughter when I am down
Strength when I am weak and need him to be the strong one
Love that never fails
A hand to hold when times are scary
A loving and beautiful child
Smiles and gratefulness when we look at the child we created
A Christian Man who loves and serves the Lord
Encouraging words when I set out on a new journey
A hard worker who supports his family
A best friend to travel through this life with

William, while tomorrow may be your birthday, it is a celebratory day for me as well because when you were born, my husband and father of my child was also born. I am forever grateful to God for blessing me with you and for creating what we have together. I love you more than I could ever express in earthly terms. I hope you have the best birthday ever tomorrow. You are the best!
