To Madison Elizabeth Jewel…..

“Years ago into my life, a baby daughter came, I loved her with all my heart and still do just the same.  From ruffled pants to piggy tails, to first lost teeth and school events.  We knew right from the very start our precious girl was heaven sent.  And as the years have come and gone, we’ve watched her sweetly grow, into the daughter we dreamed about ..a debt of thanks to God we owe..”  ~LSY

Being a mother to my four children has been the greatest blessing and the greatest privilege of my life.

Being a mother to you is God’s way of confirming to me that I was a deeply loved daughter for you are a precious jewel….

There are many things I could write…and, many things I have already written but what I want to do on this your 22^nd birthday is give you my Mother’s blessing.

“May your every day be one of thanksgiving to God…for your life, your family, your friends, your salvation” “May you come to know Him in a real and meaningful way and may you use that knowledge to be a Godly reflection to all you are around”

“May you always remember whose girl you are….HIS”

“May you always put people first and things last”

“May you take care of the person you are…physically, emotionally, and in every way”

“May you work with your hands daily in the serving of others”

“May your heart be strong….bold…brave…”

“May you recognize the value of your worth…the Jewel that you are…”

“May your days be many, your laughter be much, your sorrows be few”

“May God shower you with those earthly possessions which enable you to share in the provision for your family and others”

“May you live on purpose”

 “May you have a clear path and a clear direction….and, may that be one filled with God”

“May you always forgive”

“May the past be buried and the future be found”

“May you understand that we are not promised tomorrow…and, that we should make the most of today”

“May you know and find strength in the depth of love your family feels for you, may that be an anchor for your life”

“May God find favor with you all the days of your life”

I Love You As Only Your Mother Can,

Blessings,

Mama
