A Wonderful Birthday....
I thank so many of you who sent along encouragements today to me! I love encouragements and I love being loved. I`m like a cat that purrs because so many of you are scratching my ears with encouragement! Thank you to everyone who sent their best wishes and blessings.
Tonight, my roommate Alain, my Mexican friend Adrianna and I all went to an Irish pub to eat dinner called Hurleys. It was so amazing!!!! The burgers were incredible and the cheesecake was even better!!! It was a good time to get to sit and relax and take in the fact that God has blessed me in so many ways and He has given me so many friends and family that love me and that I love and I wish were here with me to share in what is going on.
I got to talk to my parents and my sister today which made the day so much better, but came home to an email box full of emails wishing me encouragement and a happy birthday. So, thank you all for loving me. Keep praying for me as I pray for you. What an exciting day it will be to gather for eternity with Jesus Christ and the whole body of Christ!!! I read one of Dave Garda`s (you are truly a great friend Dave) emails to a group the other day, and he put a song in there, and I`m gonna copy it and put on here for you all. I love you all, and Jesus loves you more!You've Got A Friend, Randy Newman (From the deep theology of Toy Story)
You've got a friend in me, You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me, You've got a friend in me
If you got troubles
I got them too
There isn't anything
I wouldn't do for you
We stick together, we can see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them
Will ever love you
The way I do
It's me and you, boy
And as the years go by,
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Yea You've got a friend in me.
Privileged to be your friend.
Dwight

Thank you Alain and Adrianna for sharing a special evening with Dwight on his birthday. I knew that people close to him would see that he had a special time even though he is away from his immediate family. Glad you enjoyed your day, Dwight, and it was exciting to talk with you on your special day. Thanks for sharing all of your encouraging words with others on your blog; can't wait to see what excitement comes your way each day as I check your blog MANY TIMES throughout the day. Love ya lots, Mom

I love how now I think of you as "universal" mom, because your name is just mom on here....

Howdy Dwight!
here is my little response (from the bible of course) about the "cursed day of your birth" but, to my opinion, has turned to be a Blessed Day to many:
The word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
Jeremiah 1: 4 and 5
