Thank you Lord, for bringing me all this way. For 52 years you have carried me and I have nothing but praise for you on my lips. Thank you, for another year of life and a life now dedicated to serving you the rest of my days. Happy Birthday to me!

Today is a day that I will never see again. God made this day especially for me, so today, I will rejoice and be glad in it. Lord, for the many times you tried to steer me in your way, and I walked in my own willful way, for the many storms you have brought me through, for the many setbacks intended to steer me in the right way, for all the joys you have given me, especially the joy of my beautiful daughter, for the doors you have opened for me, for the attacks of enemy fire that you blocked, for the blessing that you have bestowed on me that I don’t deserve, for my family and friends, for life, for health, for food, for a roof over my head, and mostly for the gifts that you have given me that I am using in your service; I owe it all to you. Thank you, Lord. Today I will celebrate my Birthday with family and friends and I will share with them just some of the good things that you have done and continue to do in my life. I am truly grateful for another year of life. God has put a smile on my face, a song in my heart and a spring in my step, and I now ask him to keep me faithfully in his way.
