Happy Birthday, Grace!

Shortly before midnight on Thursday, June 28, 1990, our beautiful daughter Grace was born.  Phil and I both recall those first moments after her cesarean section delivery, looking over at this new life and commenting that she had a full head of hair, and that she certainly looked bigger than the 6 - 7 pounds the doctor said she would weigh (she was 8 pounds, 9 ounces!)  As she grew, Grace demonstrated a love of horses, drawing, music, and photography.  She is a phenomenal piano player, and a superb photographer.  Grace has also become a wonderful cook.  And last year, she married her price charming. 

Grace, as you turn 21, my prayer for you is echoed in the words written by Lincoln Brewster:

Love the Lord your God
With all your heart
With all your soul
With all your mind
And with all your strength (2x)

With all your heart
With all your soul
With all your mind
And with all your strength
Love the Lord your God
With all your heart
With all your soul
With all your mind
And with all your strength

Happy Birthday, Grace!!
