Happy Birthday, Sweet Friend!



























Hello, Everyone! (This is Tonya, Susan's friend)

I hope Susan won't mind, but I'm taking over her blog today. (Sorry, Susan, this is what can happen when people get their hands on your log-in information.. hehehe)

Anyway, I wanted to let you all know that TODAY is Susan's birthday! I know that Susan has been such a tremendous blessing to you, just as she has to me! She is one of the most GENUINELY SWEET people I have ever met! She's COMPLETELY ON FIRE for JESUS (need I say more?) and she's got the gift of encouragement like few before her! I thought it'd be FUN for us to encourage HER today, on her special day??


I, I guess I should say WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH, Susan, and hope you have a FANTASTIC birthday!

(((((((HUGS))))))))

Hey there, Sweet Mama!

I hope you're okay with me taking over your blog today?? I could've asked permission, but that would've ruined the "element of surprise"... O:-)

I wish I were there to give you a great big hug (and to take you out for dinner)... this will just give us an excuse to make up for lost time, eh? =-)

I'll try to get your gifts in the mail in the next day or two. (Sorry it's not there now.. I've not been out much lately.. "world's biggest procrastinator".. that's me!)

Happy Birthday, Sweet Friend!
I love you!

Happy birthday, sweet Susan! Oh my, you have been such an encourager to Tonya even when your own path has been rocky. Hooray for our sisters and encouragers; somehow I think that's what Jesus was talking about when He said "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on EARTH as it is in Heaven". It's friends like you that give us a glimpse of what Heaven will be like. Hope your day is every bit as special as you are!

Happy Birthday! I just love love love to read your thoughts about the MIGHTY GOD we serve. You are such a true testimony to HIS word. I'm so thankful that GOD brought you and Tonya together on this journey of life. What a sweet friendship you two share. My prayer for you, today, is that GOD will continue to shower you in HIS blessings.

My Sweet Susie,

What can I say? You know how much joy you bring me, and all the happiness I found since the day I met you, fell head over heals, hopelessly in love, and never looked back!

So on this, your special day, I wish you all the happiness, that you have brought so many others, right back to you.

So Happy 29th - this year and ever 29th year as long as you live.

Your Greatest Fan, full-time Friend, and huggable husband,

Ricky
