She’s also been one of my main and very patient photography subjects over the year[what can I say, the camera loves her! π] This gal has blessed me over and over again with her kindness, encouragement, and sisterhood and today I am beyond thrilled to be celebrating her!! Happy Birthday, Rebekahπ₯³. I thank the Lord for YOU!!

Happy Birthday, Rebekah!! Your outfit color combo is gorgeous!!
Lovely pictures, and another stunning birthday-shoot location, Rachel!! Wow! (The picture with the gray and white-dotted wall behind Rebekah would look wonderful enlarged and cut to fit an oval frame, as a bust portrait!)
Rachel, I appreciate how you show love to your family, with positive and uplifting compliments! It is a humble, Christian example of building up others, rather than self. It’s just too easy for us (because of our struggle with pride) to say bad things about others, especially behind their backs. Oh, to focus on the good, and the strengths, of others! To be Christlike, gentle and long-suffering!
Thanks for the example.
“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” Matt. 5:9
Aw, thank you for your sweet encouragement, Sheri. All I can say is praise the Lord God and Him only! It is His work in me and nothing of my own doing. One of my favorite verses that sums up what I am trying to say so well is Psalm 115:1, “Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto THY name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth’s sake.” β€οΈππΌ So thankful for His mercy. May He alone be praised!
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to HIS abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” 1 Peter 1:3
Amen! That’s so true! God should get all the praise for anything good in us, for it truly IS HIM shining through us; we are merely the vessels that He fashions and polishes for His use. Then we mirror Him to the world.
I struggled with the wording for a long time, not wanting to seem like I was flattering you. I almost deleted it a couple of times, but finally sent it as an honest thanks for what was blessing my heart. :-)
I love Ps 115:1!!! God be praised!
Happiest of birthdays to you Rebekah from Idaho!π₯³π€ ππ
Psalm 103
This is super exciting! Happy birthday Rebekah!!!! I hope you had an amazing and wonderful day! God bless! <3 :D
