Today I am thankful for family, and friends and the love we share. I am thankful for each one of you, and I want each of you to know how you have blessed this world, this community, and so many lives. I received this message today, and I thought it was perfect for everyone here, so take it as your own..........
On this day of your life, Melissa, we believe God wants you to know:
... that today you have a cause for celebration.
Today, you should celebrate what an unbelievable life you have had so far: the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because they have served to make you stronger. Just as a gem cannot be polished without friction, nor can a life be perfected without trials. Take a time to acknowledge your life and to praise yourself.
