“On this special day, as I turn 61, my heart is brimming with gratitude. Since the early hours, I have been inundated with calls and felicitations, each one a reminder of the many blessings in my life. Throughout the years, I’ve witnessed the ebb and flow of life – relationships evolve, yet one constant remains consistently present: the unwavering presence of the Lord in one’s life.
“Today, as I bask in the outpouring of love and warm wishes on this 61st birthday, and as the messages and calls of felicitation continue to pour in, I am reminded of the incredible community in whose midst I live and serve. Your kind messages and thoughts today lend a special glow to my reflections.
“In the year ahead, I am eager to see how it all unfolds according to His plan. I believe it will be a year rich in learning and growth. As a shepherd lit by His light, I embrace the prospects that unfold before us.
Now, let me offer this heartfelt prayer for all of us: “Our Father, on this day of reflection, hear my heart’s cry for every soul in my watch, for every member of our faith community. Let their pre-appointed doors open wide. May they discover new expanses of joy in abundance and realise that with You, every conclusion is merely the beginning of greater blessings.
“Grant each ease in prayer and an anointing of authority that prevails above all. Let no foe win against them; instead, may everything work together in harmony with Your counsel for their good.
“May they forever recall that with You, their stories are marked by victory and ceaseless rejoicing. Bless them, Lord, with Your favour and peace, today and for all time. Make each of us a greater blessing to the human fold. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
“My heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been a part of my journey. Your support, love, and friendship have strengthened me along the way. You inspire! Here’s to another year replete with blessings, growth, and God’s abounding.”
