Happy birthday Timothy !!

At my first defense, no one stood by me, but everyone deserted me. May it not be counted against them. But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the proclamation might be fully made through me and all the Gentiles might hear. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil work and will bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever! Amen. (2 Timothy 4:16-18 )

A birthday tradition here at the Wessel house is breakfast in bed and a session of "what we love about you!" So....

Liv- I love how you wrestle with me and don't take it easy on me, how you love me and spend time with me. 

Kadin- I love how you help me through things when they bother me.  And that you are always there for me and that you play with me. 

Devin- I love your compassion for other people and what they are going through. I love how you always have the right words to say. 

Gina - I love how you let the Holy Spirit guide you.  How you own your own mistakes and don't blame others.  I love how you bring fun and a free spirit to our home and I love the way you love me. 

This scripture verse is Tim's life verse. He read it on the way to teen challenge because it was the book of "Timothy" when he was 19 years old.  Today at 46 his life sings God's  praises for rescuing him , for coming to his defense for holding him safely In his arms.  

Thank you Jesus.
