The Ultimate Birthday BlogCard – Don’t open til…

What makes a birthday so special? Sharing the joy with others!

Friday, June 26th, my beautiful bride turns 25.

And I need YOU to help me wish her a happy birthday. Feel free to share a memory, word of encouragement, a virtual spank, etc.

I’ll go first.

Christina,
Wow! Where did the time go?! I’ve known you now for twelve years. When I met you, you were the bubbly, blonde-orange-ish short haired girl to whom I gave rides to youth group. Today, you are a quarter of a century old, and more beautiful than ever (with lovely long brown hair, or course). Life has tried to pop some of your bubbles, but you keep afloat. We share more memories than could ever be recorded in a blog. You have grown, and continue to grow, into an amazing godly woman. I am encouraged by your desire for God to consume every part of your being and every aspect of your life. By the grace of God, I hope to see half a century, and even a century with you. Happy Birthday! You rock! :)

C’mon – we could blow her mind, or at least get her to shed a tear or two of joy.

    Christina, I don’t know you super well (yet!), but I admire your spunk and zest for life! I love how you have opened your heart, arms and home to many beautiful children and how you are desiring to bring them up to be Godly and productive members of society. We need more people like you in this world! God Bless and Happy Birthday!!

    Dear Christina,
    Happy Birthday! I remember the bubbly, blondish girl, too. She was sitting on my sofa talking with us while we ate pancakes for Sunday dinner. God gave me this strange feeling that this young lady fit right into our family and would be a part of it someday. I’m so glad that you are a Scott! You are the perfect helpmeet to NDS, a wonderful mommy to the best grand babies in the world, the type of daughter-in-law that everyone should have, and a true friend. You are “our Chrissy” and we love you!

    Happy Birthday, Christina! You radiate the joy of Christ! You are such a blessing, and I so enjoy you and your family. It is fun to see you pursue so passionately, joyfully, and intentionally the calling God has placed on your life. I pray the Lord would continue to bless your marriage, your sweet spirit, your joy and energy for Him, your precious children, your role-model mothering, and your teaching.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

    Christina,

    It has been my pleasure to come to know you and your wonderful family over these past two years. I have been impressed with how hard you (and Nate) work for your family. It has been a good example to me of a godly marriage in my singleness. I can’t wait to see the harvest you will be reaping from all of the sowing you have been doing. May our God continue to bless your life and work.

    In Christ,
    Matt

    Christina,

    It sure has been a long time. I remember when you sang with us at Youth group when I was like 18. You had one of the best voices I had heard, and I’m sure that is still the case.

    I bet I probably still have a tape of one of our youth practices where you sang. LOL

    Anyway. I hope you have an amazing 25′th Birthday.

    Thanks for being a good friend all these years, nomatter how many times we spoke.

    God Bless you!

    Christina,
    Joyeux anniversaire! ¡Feliz cumpleaños! I am blessed to have you as my daughter (in-law). I know that your birthday will be a happy one. I kind of remember being 25 but that is more than 1/2 a lifetime ago. I found a banana date tofu pudding recipe on your favorite website that I can make for your birthday if you want me to – really its no problem. Hugs and kisses from your outlaws.

    Love, Daddio
