today, my younger brother & best friend turned 21
if i had to describe him in a one word it would be transformed
he helped my wife and i move furniture all morning
practiced worship music in the afternoon
prepared for fellowship in the evening
led worship & prayed at night
he is a very flexible person who finds contentment in life … all aspects of life …
and today, he finally got to choose to do exactly what he wanted to do …
he loved
and served
all day.
this is exactly the type of soul whose life reflects a sincere love of Jesus,
not circumstances, Jesus
not miracles, Jesus
not blessings, Jesus
not things, Jesus
he has a really wise understanding, much beyond his years, of God’s grace & mercy
and this shows through his thoughts, words, and deeds … beautiful
so, here’s to you samuel miles …
happy birthday to you
happy birthday to you
happy birthday to senor smiles
happy birthday to you.
(here are some recent pics of the dude for us to enjoy on his b-day)
pistol river, or
bryce canyon, ut
ruidoso, nm
grand canyon, az
oregon coast
redwood forest, ca
he is a brilliant songwriter with a heart of gold
and now, you and i both are going to be able to enjoy and grow through his writings because …
i have asked him to be a guest author on transparentfreedom & he has accepted
the original thought was to have him post every wednesday that he was able to,
and while this is subject to change, be sure to check back on wednesday to be a part of transparentfreedom going to a new level.
got anything you want to say to miles on his 21st b-day?
ltlo
Precious Miles…Happy Belated Birthday!!! We love you!
