Dear
One,
These
are my heart’s desires for you on this special day, when you’re a year older,
twice your present age or thrice the half of your present age.
I
pray that;
Your
hair, if gray, will be a crown of splendor, gotten in the way of righteousness.
May it be a garland of grace on your head, resplendent in glory and attained as
a well-deserved reward for a life well-lived without stress.
Your
head will not just be a statistic but a repository of wisdom, knowledge and
understanding by virtue of which you’re effortlessly ahead of your peers and
contemporaries in your spheres of influence.
Your
eyes will not just look, they will see. May someone not have to describe to you
what you’re both looking at. May your vision transcend your physical sight and
serve as an incentive for the well-being of generations yet unborn.
Your
ears will not diminish in keenness as they also serve to give equilibrium. May
the need not arise to repeat things over and again to you.
Your
nose; ever sensitive, will retain default functions of respiration, perception
and voice modulation. May you not have to be fed through this passageway.
Your
mouth will serve to instruct many and you’ll be worth hearing. May your lips
bear worthy counsel and your words carry weight by virtue of your integrity and
authority. A liar is worse than a poor man (Prov. 19:22); may neither terms
describe you. May your tongue be well accustomed to life giving fruits and
healthy foods. May your “snacks” not have to be pills and drugs. May your smile
also gladden you as there won’t be more “vacancies” than necessary.
Your
throat will not be confused about whether it leads to the stomach or a bin. May
sugar, salt and flour not traverse this path in excess that they become the
"three white poisons”.
Your
shoulders, spine and entire skeletal system would not be depleted from carrying
more flesh than was purposed by design. May your muscular and skeletal systems
not suffer from underuse or abuse by virtue of the premium you place on
exercise and proper nutrition.
Your
lungs will not go on strike. May your breathing not become a painful task. May
your respiration remain natural and unaided.
Your
heart will not be attacked. May it not grow weary from overwork of pumping more
blood than it was designed to. May the rhythm and beat of your heart be music
to the ears of the Almighty as coming from a heart that truly pants after Him.
Your
hands will be above as a giver to many and not below as a borrower from some.
May you be a channel through which abundant resource flows and not a bucket
that traps same. May your children, loved ones and even enemies find themselves
placing money and precious things in your hands NOT because you need it, but
because you’re blessed and they need your blessing. You will NOT be a liability
to your children financially. You’ll leave a good inheritance for your
children’s children till the fourth generation. May you not need other people’s
hands to feed, wear clothes, bathe etc because of paralysis or amputation. May
your fingers not reduce in number than what you have presently.
Your
digestive system will not fail you; devices and machines would not have to do
what these were created to do. You’ll eat and drink without fear of allergy;
the foods you avoid would be by volition and not by compulsion. Your food and
water is blessed so sickness is far from you (Exodus 23:25).
Your
legs will not be feeble. You’ll walk and leave two footprints (preferably left
and right) and not three, four, six or those very thin wheel tracks. You’ll not
need to be carried to the rest room, your bed, your car etc. May you not walk
through this life unnoticed; may the legacies you leave behind cause many to be
blessed and bless you. You will NOT be a liability for your children physically
– they will not have to pray for you because you’re sick or frail. They will
always be inspired by your strength, agility and fitness. May you be twice your
age in wisdom, worth and wealth but half your age in vigor, visage and
vitality.
Your
name will not have negative adjectives like “bereaved”, “hypertensive”,
“diabetic” etc. Rather, it will open doors for many. Your brand and person will
make it IMPOSSIBLE for your loved ones to be poor in things money can buy,
things money can’t buy and in money itself. May people be influenced positively
because you were born.
24
The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 The Lord make His face shine upon you, and
be gracious to you; 26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you
peace.
Numbers
6:24-26
I
celebrate you!
