Today was Phil's birthday, he turned 72. I have never known a person in my life who I admire more. Who is more gentle, thoughtful, funny, wise, and insightful. He is truly the love of my life and a gift from God, the best gift ever. I hope we have many more years together! Hopefully I will be showing you pictures of our celebration on my next post.
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
Love doesn't strut,
Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always "me first,"
Doesn't fly off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.

Belated Birthday greetings to Phil. The pictures are fantastic. Lovely picture of the two of you. The love of my life will be 74 in August. If I have to pick a favorite picture, it will be the one of Phil and Anne Marie laughing together. But then, the one of Phil with your other granddaughter (sorry, cannot remember her name, lucky I can remember my own grands, hehe)holding her. So precious and shows his gentleness. Terry is gentle also. Such a Jesus like quality in my mind. I hope this is a wonderful year for Phil and you and your family. Thank you again for all your precious comments and emails this past week especially. Blessings.
What wonderful photos. I'm sending birthday wishes to Phil. I know you've planned a special day for him. I hope you both enjoy it. Hugs and blessings...Mary.
all that and the best smile I've ever seen, Happy birthday!!!
Happy Birtday, Phil! Wonderful to see these photos and read your words, Ginny.

Happy Birthday Phil. Such a warm smile!
Wonderful pics! Hope Phil has a fun birthday! Happy Birthday Phil!
Happy Birthday to Phil! You (and me, too) are blessed to have such a good man. He is a young looking 72! I wish him many, many more happy birthdays!
Dear Ginny, you are so sweet.
I am very happy that the Lord blessed you with a good man. There is nothing like it in the world. From what little time that I've known you, I would say He also blessed Phil.
P.S. I am glad you like my journal pages. It's what I like to do in the evening when watching TV. Sometimes I do miss a lot of what is going on, so I'm always asking Steve, what did I miss. He is such a sweetheart, doesn't get upset . . . just cues me in on what I've missed, LOL. Have a great day, and thank you for stopping by and visiting my blog, Connie :)
Happy Birthday Phil.
Birthday blessings to your husband. How fortunate you both are.
Congratulations with yout birthday and many more.
Greetings,
Filip
Happy Birthday to Phil! I can tell as I read your blog notes about this man that you do admire and appreciate his love and kindness towards you. I also think it's great that you will publicly speak all these positive comments about him being the love of your life. You are blessed to have each other. I love the shot of you two near the front of the church...or maybe that's in a Sunday School room?
Happy Birthday to your sweetheart of a guy! Good guys really are a blessing. So glad you appreciate yours, Ginny!

A hugh happy b- day to Phil...love what you said about him....and your feelings towards him. The beautiful pics made me smile...
Happy birthday, Phil. Gosh, I LOVE Anne Marie's smile. She and grandpa are just busting with joy.
Happy Birthday Phil, May God bless you now and always!

He doesn't look 72. Phil wants to renew your wedding vow? I sussed out the floral arch.
He doesn't look 72 - but I don't really know what it is supposed to look like. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHIL! I am so glad that you two are still so much in love. sandie
I think you're both lucky to have each other!
Happy belated birthday to Phil! We almost share the same birthday. I loved the card your grand daughter made him in the next post
