Hapi 25th Birthday Madam.....

Another Year


I’m wishing you another year
Of laughter, joy and fun,
Surprises, love and happiness,
And when your birthday’s done,


I hope you feel deep in your heart,
As your birthdays come and go,
How very much you mean to me,
More than you can know.

Birthday Blessings


Instead of counting candles,
Or tallying the years,
Contemplate your blessings now,
As your birthday nears.


Consider special people
Who love you, and who care,
And others who’ve enriched your life
Just by being there.


Think about the memories
Passing years can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made you who you are.


Another year is a happy gift,
So cut your cake, and say,
"Instead of counting birthdays,
I count blessings every day!"

Happy Birthday, Special Treasure


God gave a gift to the world when you were born—
a person who loves, who cares,
who sees a person’s need and fills it,
who encourages and lifts people up,
who spends energy on others
rather than herself,
someone who touches each life she enters,
and makes a difference in the world,
because ripples of kindness flow outward
as each person you have touched, touches others.
Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday,
because you are a special treasure
for all that you’ve done.
May the love you have shown to others
return to you, multiplied.
I wish you the happiest of birthdays,
and many, many more,
so that others have time to appreciate you
as much as I do.


Birthday Wish


It’s your birthday time again;
It’s true; there’s no denying,
Another year has come and gone;
You know that I’m not lying.


So for you, the birthday person,
Here’s what I want to say:
I hope this birthday’s the best one yet,
In every delightful way.


So happy birthday to you.
Have lots of birthday fun!
May your birthday wishes all come true,
Even if you have a ton.

To Our Beloved Iglesia ni Cristo Executive Minister Bro. Eraño G. Manalo

Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) leader Eraño "Ka Erdie" Manalo has passed away.
Manalo died of cardiopulmonary arrest on Monday at 3:53 pm. He was 84.
Eraño is the son of Felix Manalo, founder and first executive minister of the Iglesia ni Cristo.
Manalo took over the administration of the church after his father's death in 1963.
He was instrumental in the expansion of the church internationally.
His remains will be brought to INC's central temple in Commonwealth in Quezon City for public viewing, which will begin at 3 p.m. Tuesday.

President Arroyo on Friday declared September 7 and 21 as non-working holidays throughout the country.
In a press statement, Malacañang declared September 7 as a national day of mourning for the late Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) leader Bro. Eraño 'Ka Erdie' Manalo. All flags will be flown at half mast on Monday.

INC spokesman Bienvenido Santiago on Friday announced that "the interment of the late Brother Eraño G. Manalo, Executive Minister of the Church of Christ, will be held on September 7, 2009, Monday, 12:00 noon at the Tabernacle located near the Central Temple."
Santiago said the interment will be held "while awaiting the construction of the mausoleum to which his remains will be transferred."
He said the mausoleum will be built near the monument of the Ka Erdie's father, Felix Manalo, "also within the grounds of the Iglesia ni Cristo Central Complex."
