This day in history from:

70th

Today is my dad's 70th birthday.

And for today we, will celebrate the 70 years of his colorful and beautiful life with an overnight sortie, starting tonight.

Before anything else, I like to greet my Dad a happy, happy birthday. And I like to express my gratitude for not only giving me life, but also for all the guidance and support he has given me all this time. During my darkest, darkest hours he was never judged me and given me all the support and assistance I desperately needed during the time.

I wish him more fruitful years, as he is still very healthy, even in better physical condition than me. Just watch out for nasty trips and falls.

He has likewise shown me one of the secrets to a long life. I have discovered two (but technically the second is the secret to staying young, not having a long life). I'll share them in some future time.

Going back to this post's subject, again, Dad, Happy, Happy Birthday! May you have more productive years to come. And thanks for everything. We love you.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
