Birthday Blessings to a Twenty One year old!

Rachel, Happy 21st Birthday!! You are such a blessing in our lives. Just like that smile, your whole countenance radiates Jesus!! Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and , and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness nor shadow of turning. James 1:17 You are definitely a good gift from God the Father.
We definitely appreciate your thoroughness, love for God's Word, and it's so nice that you handle practical jokes, because you are just such an easy person to tease :) Fear thou not, for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10

There are so many good memories of Rachel...here is just one of them. When she was just one year old , we moved from Canada to Minnesota. Rachel was a little shy of a lot of her "new" relatives...all except her Great Grandpa Everett. She would let Grandpa hold her and play with her,  she was all smiles with him. I think God let Rachel enjoy her time with Grandpa,  because just a year later Grandpa passed away quite unexpectedly!


So a question for our readers, what do you appreciate about Rachel!! Let us know below!

Something that you might not know about Rachel is that she chose to become a child of God at our Vacation Bible School. Our Grandma K explained the way of salvation to her.

Some memories of Rachel, that are especially favorite ones of mine, are late night talks, practicing music together, working at the Good News Cabin together, Having a Bright Lights Group that we lead together, and especially helping quiz you for Nationals...BF's for 21 years, and I pray that we continue to be BFF:)  Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Romans 15:13 Some memories of Rachel, that are especially favorite ones of mine

Happy Birthday sweet girl....keep striving to live for Jesus first and foremost!
