We delight to see your love for Jesus and desire to serve Him with your life. Your joy in children’s ministry and investment in the children is inspiring. You are always ready to pitch in and help. I remember when you were little and determined you would NOT have a grumbly, complaining spirit, and you don’t!
We hope you have a wonderful birthday and a blessed year of loving and serving Jesus.
“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world” (Galatians 6:14).

Happy Birthday, Mary. You just radiate the love of Christ. May you have a blessed year as you love and serve the Lord.
So sweet!! Thank you!
Happy Birthday Mary! Such a beautiful woman I have gotten to watch you grow into from afar. Excited to see where the Lord leads you in life!

You’re amazing! Thanks Johnna!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, sweet Mary!! Your beautiful, joyous, serving spirit is such a blessing! May our Father continue to richly bless and guide you in His ways and His plan for you, as you live for Him. “The LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in You!” Psalm 84:11-12
With love,

Thank you so so much!! How neat – that’s one of my favorite Scripture passages!
Oh how NEAT!! I love this reminder – that we can always trust that whatever season the LORD has given us, is THE BEST THING for us right now, since He does not withhold good things from those who walk uprightly!! Even if the day seems hard, we have reason to trust and learn and rejoice in Him always. And we can trust that whenever there’s a better “good thing” He’ll provide it in His time. 🙂 “He makes all things beautiful in His time.” “O LORD of hosts, BLESSED is the man who trusts in You!” Sending you a big hug, sister in Christ!
Happy Birthday, Mary!
Thanks so much, Sarah!!
Have a blessed birthday, Mary! I recently have been reading old blog posts and I see throughout all the years you have had such a sweet, giving spirit. I’ve been a Moody reader since I was 8 (10 years ago) and more recently Hill Top, and your artistic skills which you have been able to use in several of those books, are wonderful! God’s blessings to you.
Wow! That’s amazing! So kind… thanks, Chloe! Praise the Lord. It’s only by His grace.
Happy Birthday Mary!
Thanks so much Jaime!!!
