Enjoy this special song dedicated to you! SCAN TO PLAY looks like — effortless, shining from within, and reflected in everything you do. You’ve taught me that grace isn’t just about appearance; it’s a way of being, a quiet strength, and a light that touches everyone around you. 78. Thank you for living your faith, not just speaking it. Your life itself is a testament and a sermon indeed. You’ve shown me that true belief isn’t measured in words, but in actions. And that a life well-lived can be the most powerful sermon of all. 79. Thank you for receiving blessings on my behalf every December, my birthday month at church! Apparently, you spring up every time birthday celebrants are called for the monthly blessings. Why? Because ‘Meba be di n3 birthday.’ You just know someone is celebrating each month, so why not receive on their behalf if they aren’t there! Your mischievous thoughtfulness never fails to make me smile! 80. And finally, THANKYOU, Maa, for simply being YOU!!! A Song forMama Song by Boyz IIMen 196 The Birthday Journal
