Happy Birthday Carole!!

Well... it is now officially September 2nd and we all know what that means.... Carole is another year wiser!

We've had this blog up and running (between thesearethedayz 1 and 2) for over five years and, believe it or not, this is my very first post (though I have made my share of editorial comments that have made their way on to other posts)! But what better occasion to post than on the 31st birthday of my sweet wife! She has been such a blessing to me (and the kids) over the last 10-plus years and we are all so thankful for her. I sometimes feel for her as she has been called to be the helpmate for a fellow in need of so much help, but she is always up to the task... and for that I am most grateful.

Carole, may the Lord bless you with many more years of health and happiness as you serve Him. I pray that you will continue to share your joyful spirit (and the many talents that God has blessed you with) with others inside and outside of our home in the years to come.

The heart of her husband safely trusts her;

So he will have no lack of gain.

She does him good and not evil

All the days of her life.

Her children rise up and call her blessed;

Her husband also, and he praises her:

I LOVE MY WIFE!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR CAROLE!!
