Happy Birthday, Annie

I'm sitting here this morning, wrapped up in Annie's pink blanket you can see in this picture.  I took this on March 20th, and in it, you can see the early birthday card Annie received from her 10 year old twin cousins, Grace & Aileen. Their mother, Lorraine, is my oldest sister, Susan's, daughter, and has always been either early or on time in sending greeting cards. Susan always did that too, but now she is in heaven with Annie. Maybe if there are cupcakes in heaven, she can help Annie celebrate today. Weird how you think about things like that now.

Olivia is going to make some pink cupcakes today. I think you all should, too.

On Mount Zion the Lord who rules over all will prepare a feast for all of the nations. The best and richest foods and the finest aged wines will be served. On that mountain the Lord will destroy the veil of sadness that covers all of the nations. He will destroy the gloom that is spread over everyone. He will swallow up death forever.
The Lord and King will wipe away the tears from everyone's face. He will remove the shame of his people from the whole earth. The Lord has spoken. At that time they will say, "He is our God. We trusted in him, and he saved us. He is the Lord. We trusted in him. Let us be filled with joy because he saved us."                                                                                          Isaiah 25:6-9
