Surprises are little joys of life. My friends and family surprised me today with a birthday party I would have never dreamed it taking this much time and effort out of them. They decorated the entire basement with red and white and hung happy birthday banners everywhere. Hearing the roaring “surprise” as I stepped into the basement overwhelmed me to tears… And I rarely cry in public. To have such wonderful and thoughtful people as friends and family, that truly is the heart of blessing.
