Mandy's birthday
Yesterday was a golden day. It was my eldest daughter’s birthday and the first one we would celebrate with her since she went to college in 2000. But she was in play production for "A Christmas Carol” at Warren Pulse Opera House. They had 3 shows that day, including 2 for school classes. So she planned to leave at 7 am and return at 11:30 pm.
Since she was only ½ hour from home and I was not booked up with commitments, I ordered a birthday cake for her and took that and ice cream to the playhouse at noon to surprise Mandy and share the goodies with her and the rest of the cast. My mom went along and we had a great time. The cast is a wonderful bunch of people, including kids and adults. Mandy was so surprised and delighted to see us. She looked beautiful in her excitement.
Later, Mom and I visited Mom’s 88-year-old sister at a nearby nursing home. The cast from Mandy’s play came to carol in costume. They sang “We Wish You A Merry Christmas.” Tiny Tim even chimed in his famous line, “God Bless us, everyone.”
It was raining all day, but still one of the nicest days I can remember with lots of good will and cheer everywhere to usher in the Christmas season.
Happy Birthday, Mandy! We love you!
“[The Word Became Flesh] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”- John 1:1-2, 14
