Happy Birthday Amie

Today, Amie is celebrating her 30th Birthday...What a wonderful time of life.

I wish to express my gratitude for her and the immense blessing she is in my life. I feel so privileged to be married to her and to know, that whatever may come, if I remain worthy of her, I will have the opportunity to be with her forever. Life's rainy days may pour down at times, but with her in my life there is always a sunshine of hope that all will be well. After all, what greater blessing one could receive than to know that you will never be alone.

I am grateful for her smiles, her faith, her dedication to the gospel and her willingness to Be...a blessing from the Lord to all she interacts with.

On this very special day, I wish to say...Happy Birthday to you Amie. You are loved by a family who recognizes all your daily efforts to change the world by being a Mother who teaches her children how the Lord sees them and a Wife who supports, loves and care for a husband who strives to earn to be worthy of her.

I am grateful for the last 30 years that not only lead me to her but prepared and allowed me to make a sacred promise to the Lord that I will serve her forever. I look forward to eternity as I know that with her, it will be as bright as the sunshine.

I love you Amie.....

Your servant.
Roland

En francais...
Aujourd'hui, Amie fête son 30ieme anniversaire ... Quel merveilleux moment de la vie. Je tiens à exprimer ma gratitude pour elle et la bénédiction immense qu’elle est dans ma vie. Je me sens privilégié d'être marié à elle et de savoir que, peu importe ce que la vie apporte, si je reste digne d'elle, je vais avoir l'occasion d'être avec elle pour toujours. Les pluies de la vie peuvent s’abattre de temps en temps, mais avec elle dans ma vie il y a toujours un soleil d’espoir que tout ira bien. Après tout, l’une des plus grandes bénédictions que l'on peut recevoir est de savoir que nous ne serons jamais seuls. Je suis reconnaissant pour son sourire, sa foi, son dévouement à l'Evangile et sa volonté d'être… une bénédiction du Seigneur avec tous ceux qu’elle rencontre. En cette journée très spéciale, je tiens à te dire ... Joyeux Anniversaire Amie. Tu es aimé par une famille qui reconnaît tous tes efforts de changer le monde en étant une Mère qui enseigne à ses enfants la façon dont le Seigneur les voit et une Epouse qui soutient et aime un mari qui cherche à être digne de son épouse. Je suis reconnaissant pour les 30 dernières années qui ne m’ont pas seulement conduit à toi, mais qui m’ont préparé et m'ont permis de faire une promesse sacrée avec le Seigneur que je te servirais à jamais. Je me réjouis de l'éternité car je sais que, avec toi, l’éternité sera aussi brillante que le soleil. Je t'aime Amie ..... Ton serviteur. Roland

Happy Belated Birthday! Sorry to be such a loser and completely let your birthday pass by. I'll have to bring you a treat or kidnap your kiddos for an afternoon or something. Welcome to your 30's! We also need to get together for dinner, FHE or something fun-I am sure it is our turn!
