A Man Full of Faith

 

my favorite son-in-law

"Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit . . . " (Acts 6:5)

Happy 40th birthday, Stephen! You are a blessed man because: 

"God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth." (Matthew 5:5)

"God blesses those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied."  (Matthew 5:6)

"God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy."  (Matthew 5:7)

"God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they shall see God." (Matthew 5:8)

"God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God." (Matthew 5:9)

Thank you for loving our Rebecca well. Thank you for bringing your children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Thank you for serving the Lord and His little ones. Thank you for being the best son-in-law in the whole wide world. We love you, Stephen!
