The Second Half of Birthdays

We are beginning the second half of the birthdays for the David Miller fam
with the CELEBRATION of

Stephen Matthew
Number One Son


who shares his name with his dad - David Stephen


and his silly smile with his mom;


who enjoys Georgia football



and Atlanta Braves baseball;


who is politically savy and a patriot;


who is incredibly talented;


who sees things from a gifted perspective;


and captures life in a different light.

God has a purpose and a plan...a perfectly before-prepared life plan.
God has a plan for your life which no other man can fulfill.
There is no man in all the world who can do your work as well as you.
God has given you a particular kind of personality.
He has also created a particular cicle of individuals
who can be reached and touched
by that personality as by none other in the world.
And then He shapes and orders your life so as to bring you into contact with that very circle.
Just a hairs breath of shift in the focus of the telescope,
 and some man sees a vision of beauty which before had been all confused and befogged.
So, too, just that grain of individual and personal variation in your life
from every other man's and someone sees Jesus Christ with a clearness and beauty
he would discern nowhere else.
What a priviledge to have one's own Christ indwelt personality!
What a joy to know that God will use it,
as He uses no other for certain individuals susceptible to it as to no other!
In you there is just a bit of change in the angle of the jewel -- and, lo, some man sees the light!
In you there is just a trifle of variation in the mingling of the spices -- and, behold, someone becomes conscious of the fragrance of Christ.
James H. McConkey

Happy Birthday Stephen!
You are loved!
You are treasured!
You are gifted!

We love you bunches and bunches!
No matter how many years you celebrate the anniversary of your 25th birthday!

Happy 31st!
