How can I begin to explain God's grace, gift and love to Z on his 8th birthday, how? I CAN'T!!! I am ever in awe and amazed by my Heavenly Father. I planned a birthday celebration for Z, water balloons, squirt guns, pizza, chicken, spaghetti, salad, fruit, cake and family fun. It wasn't much but it was from my heart and the best I could do. Well, never underestimate God's plan. Tio, Z and I were sitting outside
filling water balloons and fire trucks, a trailer and people are across the street at the church busy. We continue our work as we see God evolve in our very sight. A dunking machine, a giant water slide, cake walks, horse rides and safe talks from the firemen. As they were finishing up one of the members came over and invited us. I told them we were having a birthday party. He said looks like God is giving him another one and he said everyone was welcome. The music was setting the atmosphere of praise and good times throughout the neighborhood. People came out on their porches and enjoyed the children having the time of thier lives. After all the church fun and nearly everyone at the party winning a cake on the cake walk; we came back across the street & threw our water balloons and played with the water toys.
All of which for some reason were aimed at me!!! (where is the love) We ate outside, laughed and really enjoyed ourselves. We came inside to sing Happy Birthday and open presents. It was a birthday we will all remember forever. But God was not done yet. After everyone left, Tio went to play basketball. When he came home, he ran in the house and said "Zumere God has one more present for you, its outside, come on!" We went out and high in the sky between a picture frame of tree was the most beautiful full moon shining down at us. I almost cried. You should have seen Z's face, it was priceless. Then he said "thank You, God! Thank you, Tio thats the best present of all. He is still talking about the gift when God gave him the moon. Nothing and nobody but God. Be blessed!
