My birthday was truly a celebration of love. My heart is overflowing with emotion because God has shown me how blessed I am. Thank you for all of the warm wishes, beautiful words, and awesome reminders that I serve a Risen Savior and Living God! Each of you have given me another memory which I will treasure forever! I am so happy I am alive and able to enjoy life, and I am thankful for each of you who shared my day with me!

If you don’t believe in angels here on earth, I can make a believer out of you. God knows how hard holidays, birthdays, and celebration are for me now. My children, grandchildren, and friends have been my guardian angels for a long time. Every day we are in the presence of angels, and we can be His angels! All we have to do is keep our eyes and ears open and keep our hearts, hands, and feet ready and be his “tools” here on earth. Guardian angels come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and species. They do little things and large things. The beauty is they help and save us!

With everything that has occurred since before Christmas, it would be easy to throw a pity party with just Me, Myself, and I. However, when I begin to feel sorry for myself, I stop and remember I am a child of My King, Jesus! If He can Love a sinner like me and give His Precious Life on the Cross for me, I know I can do more for Him and for the world in which I live. No matter our age, health, or financial status, we can help others by sharing what we have. A sense of humor and a smile on our faces can do more to enhance the beauty and happiness of others than any thing else. Today, I am beginning a new journey of spreading joy! Okay, for the present, within the boundaries of social distancing.

Until next time,

Hester
