Dear Lord, Thank you for giving me a friend.

With one more hour of J's Birthday to go, I wanted to share my prayer for the day (it is the same prayer that I had on her wedding day!)

Dear Lord,

Thank you for giving me a friend.

Thank you for giving me a friend that will laugh at all my jokes even the ones that are not so funny.

Thank you for giving me a friend to cry with, laugh with and cry because of laughing so hard.

Thank you for giving me a friend to tell secrets to, who will trust me with hers as well.

Thank you for giving me a friend who believes in me when I stop believing in myself.

Thank you for giving me a friend who is happy about my victories and shares in my sorrows.

Thank you for giving me a friend who is always there to listen, even when I have nothing to say.

Thank you for giving me a friend who's smile is bright, who's heart is generous, and who's laughter is contagious.

Thank you for giving me a friend who brings out the best in me.

Thank you for giving me a friend who brings out the fun in me.

Thank you for giving me a friend who motivates me to do good, be better, live happier.

Thank you for giving me a friend who encourages me, motivates me and inspires me.

Thank you for giving me a best friend.

And thank you for making this friend J.

Happy Birthday, J!

May the beach balls never stop flying, And may there always be a "full moon" for the albino turtles to find each other.
