happy birthday yourgin

wouldn't you love a sky like this to help you celebrate your birthday??!

it was so spectacular!

living in the caribbean pretty much guarantees a decent sunset most nights

but i have never seen a sunset quite like this!!

perhaps this was God's present for Yourgin...

i remember years ago when we were living in Saskatchewan

it was my birthday

i had gone out for chinese food and then went bowling with my sweet family,

 after the kids were in bed 

a friend dropped by and asked if i wanted to go for a birthday walk.

it was a cool fall night,

the sky was clear and bright

we were standing outside my friend's house talking when suddenly

she said,

'debi look up!  i think God has saved the best present for you for the last!'

i looked up and right over my head,

in a perfect circle was the most magnificent display of

northern lights shimmering in shades of green and blue.

i almost cried!!

it was a pulsating display of His love right over my head!!

i know that yourgin was very happy on his birthday

they don't typically celebrate birthdays on the island here

so he was surprised by the meal, and the cake and the gifts

but i still think the best gift

is the sweetest sunset ever from the Father above...
