November Birthdays

We celebrate a lot of birthdays in November. Charlotte on the 3rd, David on the 5th, Jim on the 27th. We also know several others who have birthdays in November. Over the weekend we celebrated two birthday dinners with the Williams family.
Sarah (left) celebrated her birthday on Saturday. Sarah and I lived in Colombia as kids where both of our parents were missionaries. My brother married Sarah's sister, so we go back a long way. Sarah is an accomplished pianist. She and her husband served as missionaries in South Asia.
Leah (front left) celebrated her birthday on Sunday. Also in the picture are Laura, Sarah's daughter, with Bill Ratliff and his daughter Ashley. If this looks like a family photo, it may as well be. Laura and Bill will be getting married in a matter of days. Leah celebrated her ninth birthday on Sunday. Charlotte bought her a giant Hershy bar for her birthday present.
Charlotte loves kids. Ashley, Charlotte and Leah know how to have a lot of fun.

It is important to celebrate special moments with family and friends. It's a chance to remember the past and to hope for the future. I have known Sarah since I was five or six years old. We have watched Leah grow up. We pray that God will bless them and fulfill his purpose in their lives.

"Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90:12
