Happy Birthday America!

Today we celebrate a very special birthday! Happy Birthday America! What we'd like to give you is a nation of people who are proud to be free, and proud to uphold our banner, Old Glory. Thirteen stripes to represent our first thirteen colonies, and fifty stars for the states.

We proudly display our banner to show our allegiance to our great nation, The United States of America.


Let's always hold dear those famous words that declare our allegiance.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Our pledge was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy (1855-1931), a Baptist minister.

As Americans we must always take a stand for what we believe and for the Constitution that our founding fathers wrote for us. There are certain parts of our rights that are always at risk of being stripped from our heritage, and that is in the area of our religion.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." ~ The First Amendment of The U.S. Constitution.

We are thankful for the liberty we have in this nation to be individuals with our own opinions and beliefs. We must always continue to strive for our freedom and not allow any person or organization to take that from us!

We honor our troops who are abroad and sacrificing their lives for this freedom, that so many Americans take for granted. We want to give you our declaration that we will continue to pass down the heritage that our early leaders preserved for us. It is our hope and desire that the future generations know how hard our ancestors fought to keep this nation free. Passing down history is a very important principle of truth and we cannot allow that to be tainted.

We celebrate your birth America! We love you and we are proud to be Americans! Even when the enemy strikes, we must persevere together and make our stand known. America is worth fighting for! We will not allow anyone to penetrate our freedom, cause us to fear, or cower down.


Our nation stands strong as we continue to build this nation and work tirelessly to uphold our laws, serve, and protect. We applaud those who give their lives each and every day to keep our nation free. Americans don't want war, but we also certainly don't want to have our freedom stripped from us. We put our foot down against tyrants and refuse to acquiesce their demands.

Our country is a free nation and we give you our gift of allegiance! We are one nation under God and will continue to be just that, One Nation!

Please join us as we wish our nation a very happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Kaitlyn!

Happy Birthday dear Kaitlyn! Yesterday you turned 16 and what a sweet, Godly young lady you're turning out to be! We wanted to do something special for you here at GGM so we decided to give you a party, though I'm sure you'll be having a grand party of your own!

We did some decorating in your favourite colours. Balloons, streamers, and boxes and box of gifts just for you!

The cake is always something spectacular at parties and I thought this one was just perfect for our Purple Princess.

For lunch we'll have a tea party out on the terrace and then when night comes.... a grand ball! Complete with a band and fireworks to light up the sky!

My special gift to you is not only your royal template, but the blessing of a prayer. May today, Kaitlyn dear, be filled of life, joy, and the warmth of family and friends. Remember to pray for the Lord’s will over your life each day. Remember to pray for the Fruits of the Spirit to be on your heart and the Armor of God over you. Remember to set a good example for your younger siblings and your friends. Remember to pray that the Lord will mold and make you into the woman, wife, and mother you will soon be.

Your mom is quite proud of you and I bet Jesus is too, and often smilies because of your zealousness to follow Him.

"She was a colicky infant, a rambunctious toddler and a strong-willed child, but as a young lady she is a dream come true! She is creative, insightful, loving, and most importantly strongly desires to please God! She is not only my daughter, but my dear friend! I am so blessed by her!

Love, Mom

HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY
KAITLYN!

May you be blessed beyond measure and may you continue to grow into a sweet Daughter of the King! You’re loved and so very dear to many…

Happy Birthday Miss Virginia

Please celebrate with us as we make today special for Miss Virginia! Miss Virginia, who is commonly known as Geena Beena in our family, has turned 9 years old today. I remember the day that Miss Virginia was born! Her Auntie Courtney was with me, as was her honorary auntie, Aunt Megan. Miss Virginia was named after our Pastor's mother, Virginia, and her middle name, Megan, from Aunt Megan. We adore our Geena Beena and her cute little nose!


She has lovely dark blue eyes and a great presence of love! Anywhere she goes, she wants to be a little mommy to any other children that are near. Miss Virginia, we love how you always volunteer to work and help out no matter whose home we're at. We know you're going to be a wonderful mommy and wife one day!

We simply adore the cakes at PinkCakeBox.com and wanted to share with you what we'd love to be able to get for your 9th birthday. A perfect cake for a princess like you!

Your Granny is coming today and has gifts for you. We have no doubt that she'll have them wrapped in beautiful paper, just as these gifts that your sister, Jessica found for you.




We want you to know that although we couldn't get all your friends to come to our town today, they send their love through this cyber party just for you! We enjoy your delicious recipes and your spunky personality. You're always filled with love and energy!



And we can't have the perfect princess party without a wonderful dress! We know you love the color pink so Jessica found this gorgeous dress just for you! Maybe we can make one just like it one day! We know you would look beautiful in it! We pray that your day is filled with love as you spend time with your family. Many prayers and blessings bestowed upon you our dear Miss Virginia!


All our love,

The GGM Team!

A Birthday Celebration!

Today we are celebrating Miss Monica June's birthday! She turns 13 today and we'd like for everyone to please wish her a wonderful birthday!
Miss Moni, we pray for bountiful blessings on your special day! May your day be full of love, encouragement, and peace.

Please enjoy these shimmering daisies today. May God continue to use you to bring happiness to the lives of those around you.



As I was trying to find just the right bouquet of balloons, I found this one and knew you would enjoy it so much more! As you soar to new heights each and every day, may the view become more grand as you see the positive in every situation.

This little gift bag has something in common with you! It's a very unique gift and it's one that you must share with another person, it's the gift of salvation. God has blessed you with a heritage of hearing the gospel, and we know that you strive to share His light in this dark world. We pray you will continue to share His word with others. God has given you so many gifts and we know you will allow Him to use you and your gifts to bless those around you.

Last of all, we wanted to have some cake with you. Becoming a young lady of 13 brings many new challenges as you face the world as an official teenager. Teens today have a sad reputation and we challenge you to bring a new definition to the term 'teenager'. May your life reflect a new kind of teenager. When people hear that term 'teen' they will think the best because of the testimony you bring to your community and to this world.

Many happy blessings to you Miss Monica June!

From all of us here at Growing in Grace!
