Happy birthday, Mary Anna! (Big sister with a bigger heart) 💓

Two of my favourite words are Family and Friends. Why, because they make up the best of blessings for me in this life.

When you get to have friends who become family, I call that a double blessing!

On this special day, I get to celebrate a wonderful soul, whose heart is larger than life – the big sister I always imagined I could have; one God has graciously gifted me with.

Always bubbly (unless she’s hungry, of course), there’s never a dull moment with her. There’s always something to talk, laugh, be concerned or pissed about together with her.

Affectionately described as the ‘indefatigable Mary Anna’, she tirelessly looks out for others and goes out of her way to help other people be it family, friend, colleague, church member or even a friend of a friend. It amazes me how much love she possesses to keep sharing.

She sees and brings out the best in people and she never gives up on others. As long as she believes there’s a way, she’ll find it and run with it.

Brutally honest, sincerely loving, readily helpful, firmly uncompromising, genuinely caring, incredibly generous, amazing company and much more make up the person of Mary Anna.

A loving wife, a great mother, a sweet sister, a wonderful friend, a supportive colleague, a caring church member are but a few words to describe this great lady.

As you celebrate your birthday, I wish you the very best of this life: boundless love, grace, favor and blessings on you and yours. For opening up your home, heart, and (even purse lol) to me, I’m forever grateful. I don’t take it for granted at all.

She takes note of everything because…welfare – we care! 😀

This is my humble prayer and wish for you, dearie:

In every life that you’ve sown goodness, may you reap a hundred folds;

In every endeavor that you have contributed or made a sacrifice to, may it keep blossoming both in and out of season;

May you be blessed in every way such that you are a blessing to everyone you meet;

May your family and finances flourish day in and day out;

May you lack no good thing;

May God remain your Shepherd, Banner, Peace, Refuge, Comforter and Friend;

May your strength, love, grace and wisdom increase with your days;

May God grant you rest from everything that stresses you out;

May your mouth be always be filled with laughter and lips be curled up in a smile

Happy birthday, Mary Anna. Have a splendid day! Love you to the moon and back!

Your drafted sister in Christ, beyond blood, family and tribe,

Jo
