Thirty Years Young

Niklas is 30 today!
Happy Birthday!
Grattis!







You fill many roles, from husband to pastor to friend to teacher,
and I am so impressed by how excellent you are at all of them.

On this your thirtieth birthday you have a new role,
and one that you shine at just as much -
Pappa to an African queen.
Thank you for being a:
loves-me-unconditionally Husband,
servant-who-longs-for-God's-word-to-change-people's-lives Pastor,
sees-the-best-in-others Friend,
patient-and-gifted Teacher,
and
makes-me-smile-every-time-I-see-you-smile-at-our-daughter
Pappa to Esther.

May you be blessed this year with the things you are trusting God for, and may it be a year of abundance in every way!
