Happy Birthday, Madeline

Easter Sunday 1962


You walked into my life in January of 1959, midway our last year of Junior High! You know how much you mean to me, then and now. 

As you lie in your hospital bed, 400 miles away, I am here praying for you. tToday you turn 79 and in 35 days I will be 79 also. Best Friends, for 64 years and all our remaining years.

Your life is a gift from God, and I am grateful to Him for all the blessings you brought into this world and into my life and into the life of your family.
Happy Birthday Dear Friend. I love you.
Loving Father, touch Madeline now with your loving hands. I believe it is your will for her to be whole in mind, body, spirit and soul. Cover Madeline with the blood of your precious son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Touch her from the top of her head to the soles of her feet.
Amen

To my blog friends, my dearest friend is desperately ill, she could use your prayers.
