thank you

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who communicated birthday wishes to me in one way or another. It has been so meaningful to think of all the new and old friends that the Lord has placed in our lives. It may only be for a season, but I am grateful for my friendships with each of you, especially since I know they are given by God. May we all continue to encourage one another and to spur each another on towards love and good deeds. Thank you for loving me not just in word or talk, but through actions and in truth. Thank you most of all because I know I don't deserve it.

Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. (1 John 3:18)
