Seven months old!

I couldn't decide between two pictures so I decided to post them both!

(Pictured with poor Horace the horse, who is so well loved he is already a double amputee and most likely will soon be missing an ear.)

The Day He Created You

God was up in heaven one day

Doing whatever He does up there

He was in a particularly creative mood

As He sat in his Kingly chair.

A little bit of orneriness

Was sparkling in His eyes

He said with a delighted laugh:

“I’m going to make a surprise!”

Everyone gathered all around

To see what He would do

They gasped and squealed and ooed and ahhed

As He created you.

God took a pinch of His character

And added His fine looks to the pot

Next, a tiny bit of mischief…

No… actually it was a lot.

He doubled the fun with a brilliant mind

That would hunger to be wise.

Shouts of excitement filled the air

When He added those blue-green eyes.

Then God started writing your story

He had been waiting for this part!

Silence swept through the throne room of heaven

As God’s passion poured out to your heart.

Tears of pride filled God’s eyes

As He saw the man you would be

Patient and kind and ever-so-faithful

A prize no one had ever seen.

“He’s perfect,” God said, filled with emotion

As He wiped the tears from His eyes.

“My beloved, My son, My masterpiece,

“My best-ever birthday surprise.”

God was strutting and skipping all around

As He closed your life’s story book

“We’re in for an adventure!” He shouted with glee

“See what I made? Look!”

  It was February 4^th, 1981

When God showed off what He could do.

He was bragging a little…no, actually a lot,

That day He created you.

    

Happy birthday, Onie!
