My husband, Ronald, and daughter, Mary Katherine, both celebrate their birthdays this week. He is 72 today and she is 42 Sunday. Any prayers you find time to say for their blessing and good health will be most appreciated. I plan a family gathering for the co-celebration this weekend. smile

Gratefully,

In Christ,

Mary Jo

Thanks for your prayers, Pani Rose. You are a blessing to many on this forum and I am sure in your home, church, and community as well. Ronald makes custom tables and is busy making one for his daughter's 42nd birthday today. Beautiful Shaker table!

Blessings,

Mary Jo

A very happy birthday to Ronald and Mary Katherine.

May God continue to grant them many years of health and happiness, and many years of the love that is your family.

As the Greeks say on a birthday or nameday to the celebrating person's family: "Na tous herese!" (May you rejoice in them!) smile

With much love,
Alice

Thanks to all. It warms my heart to see these prayers and well wishes. No, Pani Rose, no advertising for Ron. He used to be a cabinet maker, but now table making is just a hobby.

It is hard to believe that 42 years ago this week I was expecting a baby girl. Mary Kay has been a blessing and gift to us all of her life. Where do the years go?

Many years... to all of you who so graciously responded. We look forward to the family celebration this weekend.

Mary Jo smile
