Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Sydney! Nine years old! Wow! How the years go by! I remember how you surprised us when you were born! We were on a trip out west but were on our way home. I think we were in a motel in Montana. I decided to call to see how your mom was feeling. Your daddy said, "Would you like to talk to the new mama?" You were already born! We didn't have cell phones back then (that was a long time ago!) and since we were traveling your daddy didn't know how or where to call us! So what a surprise to hear that you were already born and at home! We couldn't wait to see you. What a little sweetie! And...you're still sweet today, nine years later! You're also pretty and smart and...! Lord, thank you for Sydney! She's got a lot of promise with her personality, smartness, prettiness, love of live...oh my, I could go on and on! Please keep Your Hand on her as she grows. Help her to always love You and want to live for You.
