I am so honored and blessed to thank all of you for the Birthday cards, calls, gifts and texts. I was so uplifted every Day to go to the mailbox and it was full of cards. Everyone that did not send a card, called or sent a text. Each Day I thought tomorrow I will send a thank you, but the next Day there would be another batch of cards. At my age the number of close relatives decreases, but I realize that I have more than I thought. So from the bottom of my heart, Thanks to each and everyone. Also some called their greeting. 86 was special. My sons and one grandson brought dinner and we enjoyed memories of yesterday. The other 2 grandsons had to work. They have their own cars now so they were excused. I appreciate everyone. Thanks to Clarence Wilson and Mat and Carlton, Rikki and Wayne for special gifts.

May God Bless all of you is my prayer.

Jean #86.

The Modern Creed

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is one true church, apostolic and universal, whose holy faith, let us now declare:

We believe in God the Father, infinite in wisdom, power and love, whose mercy is over all his, and whose will, is ever directed to his children’s good.

We believe in Jesus Christ, Son of God and Son of man, the gift of the Father’s unfailing grace, the ground of our hope, and the promise of our deliverance from sin and death.

We believe in the Holy Spirit as the divine presence in our lives, whereby we are kept in

perpetual remembrance of the truth of Christ and find strength and help in time of need.

We believe that this faith should manifest itself in the service of love as set forth in the example of our blessed Lord, to the end that the kingdom of God may come upon the earth.

Amen.
