Happy Birthday....DIL

Today is my daughter-in-love's birthday.  We celebrated with the girls at lunch at 501 Cafe'.  The food was great and the fellowship wonderful.

Each year as we gather to celebrate her birthday I say a prayer thanking God for looking out for her all those years before we knew her.  Indirectly praying for her that is because it wasnt until she was 17 that we even knew her.  I was praying for a life partner for Michael sight unseen knowing that one day GOD would put him with his perfect match.  I have been blessed by this sweet woman of God and so thankful for the parents that raised her.  And now they have a sweet daughter!!

This is the 2nd year Isabella has joined us for lunch with the girls and I find myself extending prayers for her future spouse just like I did for Michael's so many years ago. 

“Lord, we ask for purity in her life and that of her future mate. We ask for protection over their innocence and purity; protect them from others and wrong choices, call them to a higher standard. We ask for wisdom and discernment in teaching and preparing her for a life of purity and modesty. I also ask that you grant her husband’s parents wisdom as they raise a man of integrity.”
