My sister's birthday

Today is Heather's Birthday, my sister!  I celebrate her for so many reasons.  She is the most faithful thought friend.  She remembers and marks those important times...weather they be hard or joyous.  She has been there for me in many ways, one of the most prominent ways is that fact that I know she is there, she is in my corner, and I know that without one doubt.  She loves generously,  She always has had such joy for my children as though they were her own.  She has also known hard.  Hard moments, days, and months.  She knows Jesus and she has faith.  I celebrate her today and everyday.  These words from Oswald I send out to her today, they spoke to me and I hope they speak to your heart.  We love you Lou!

Matthew 11:28..."Come unto me"

"The questions that matter in life are remarkably few, and they are all answered by the words-"Come unto Me."  Not- Do this, or don't do that, but-"Come unto Me."  Personal contact with Jesus alters everything.  Be stupid enough to come and commit yourself to what He says.  The attitude of coming is that the will resolutely lets go of everything and deliberately commits all to Him.

"....And I will give you rest," ie., I will stay you.  Not-I will put you to bed and hold your hand and sing you to sleep; but- I will get you out of bed, our of the languor and exhaustion, our of the state of being half dead while you are alive; I will imbue you with the spirit of life, and you will be stayed by  the perfection of vital activity."

Happy Birthday sweet sister and friend!
