Tamara Leigh and Courtney Danielle Bell

Today we had our girl's 11th birthday party and all the family and friends and yes the loud kids were here.

It was a blast ,till we realized how much time had gone by since the night they were born, and the emptiness of our hearts for the ones who have left us since then as my mother and my wife's father has.

They still look in on us and their presence is always felt.

Birthday's come and go every year and still should be cherished whether you are 11 or a 111.

Having kids will sure change your life and I would not trade mine for anything.

They know the Lord as their Saviour read their Bible's and gives the due respect their family and peers.

They witness to the ones that give them the chance and just plain love Jesus, which if they never do anything else, career wise or whatever else that is the most important thing to know.

For first you seek the Kingdom of God and all else will be given to you.

When Crossroads comes into existence they will be a major part of the ministry.

They are beautiful girls and not just because they are physically pretty.

There is strength in their gaze,a clarity of mind and such forthright zest for living that they confirm the reality of their faith just by the love and confidence in their smiles.

There's nothing cowed or deluded or empty in their countenance.

Instead,they seem to embody courage and delight.

(That's a lot of power to acquire in just eleven years.)

Judging by this picture,God has put a lot of Himself in these young ladies and nothing's come along yet to put much of a damper on them.

They might lead some folks to the Lord by quoting Scripture but their best witness will be how folks can look at their eyes and actions and see Christ looking back.

Congratulations to Tamara Leigh and Courtney Danielle on their birthday and to their parents' for their contribution in blessing the world with daughters that will earn respect as well as offer it to others.
