A Prayer for Happiness One thing I truly admire about Jayne is her relenting faith in God. Her faith keeps her resilient in every situation, helping her face life’s curveballs with calmness and contentment. Great memories with Jayne? Well, there are numerous memories frommy infancy, but one that stands out is her empathy. I recall a time in secondary school when I was being punished for refusing to eat breakfast in the dining room. The dining prefect threatened to make me scrub the entire assembly hall, and I called her bluff. Jayne, hearing of my situation, came running in tears to find me. To her surprise, I was not perturbed and was defiantly attempting to do my punishment. She scolded me for not conforming, advised me to pretend to eat something else in my cup, and was even ready to help me with my punishment. In reality, I didn’t know how to scrub; I just poured water and swept it away with a broom. But I loved that my sister was so caring in my plight, and she extends that care to all her friends and family. My wish for Jayne for the next decade is simple: I wish her only the best. On her golden jubilee, may everything in her life shine as brightly as her heart of gold. May the coming years bring the fulfillment of all her heart’s desires, and may the Lord, whom she has faithfully served, continue to bless all her endeavors. May she find favour with everyone, just as she has found favour with God. Amen. Remarkable Empathy and TreasuredMemories One thing I love about Jayne is her remarkable empathy. She is genuinely kind and helpful, and her actions are often guided by her strong belief in the goodness of God. When it comes to great memories with Jayne, growing up with her was a treasure trove of experiences. One memorable adventure was following her to Luna Park on Sunday evenings. Having Jayne as a big sister meant we always had exciting and fun things to do as teenagers. Looking ahead to the next decade, my wish for Jayne is that God opens the windows of heaven and pours out abundant blessings upon her. May every desire of her heart, aligned with God’s will, be granted. Dinah JulieJules 36 The Birthday Journal
