Celebrating 23!

We were invited to be part of the celebration for SJ tonight-I consider her to be my adopted daughter. Today she turned 23! We have known each other for quite a few years and she has brought a lot of joy to a lot of people's lives. She is a young woman that loves the Lord and it shows in all she does. She is getting ready to leave for Israel-she feels that Lord telling her she needs to live there. She will be missed but her mama and I talked tonight about how we will miss her but you want your child to be where the Lord wants her to be.

Her mama-Kelly-is the hostess with the mostest and knows how to throw a party. She has a business "Dear Jane" and if you need to throw a party-she can do it beautifully and tonight wasn't any different. Her theme was Adventure and travel and all the little details added to the party.

The food was yummy-we all loved the cake pops, and the slaw, and the chicken salad, and the spinach dip!!

Kelly and I are both crazy about cupcakes so of course there were cupcakes to eat! SJ made them!

The travel theme was carried out through all the decorations. It was cute. She got cookies from Pastries by Design in the shapes of planes and suitcases! And we all had small suitcases filled with candy as favors.

It's fun to celebrate together with friends, one day at a time.

We celebrate births, anniversaries, weddings, and many other events. I think about how we will all be together one day and the celebration will be bigger than any party we could ever throw here on earth. It will take place in Heaven and those of us that are saved will all be there to take part in it.

Revelation 5:11-13

 11And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

   12Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

   13And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

Happy Birthday Sarah Jane! ♥ ya!
