Ha ha! I have done it! I have guessed her login ID and password, thus infiltrating this incredibly popular blog in order to thoroughly embarrass my wife!
Saturday, August 30th is Elise's thirty-first birthday, and in honor of this event, I would like to invite you all to write her a short message. On another note, I would like to thank you all for the friendship given to Elise that seems "virtual", but in actuality, is very real indeed. Elise finds great joy in having you all as friends who read her musings, encourage her, and lift her and her family up in prayer. My sincerest thanks!
Grace & Peace,
Elise's husband, Kevin

dear, dear Elise,
Happy birthday! May you have a wonderful day!
I am so grateful for the opportunity to know you- even a wee little bit- through this venue of blogging. You are a blessing indeed. And the wisdom God has given you in your thirty-one years? Remarkable.
Love and hugs to you, friend!

Hi Elise :)Happy, Happy Birthday! What a joy to discover Kevin's fun and to get to be a part of it.
May this next year be most blessed - a year that is filled with the Father's joy and His love.
Love and hugs, Q
It does seem a bit presumptuous, thinking of you as a friend, since it's all very 'virtual' - but I often check in on your page when I feel like a bit of encouragement from someone who is walking a similar path, and truly, I always come away with something that touches my heart or spurs me on...
Thank you for sharing your days with me, and for letting us have a glimpse into your family life.
So there you have it - I thank God for you as a 'real' friend, and praise Him for the way He uses this monstrosity called the internet for the building up of His kingdom and His people. You're a precious part of that community, Elise.
Enjoy your special day. May He awaken you to something precious about Him, and grant you a glimpse of what a blessing you are.
Happy Birthday from our whole family, and especially from your friend,
Anya
Happy Birthday Elise! I am always blessed by my visits to your blog and your wonderful insights into life. Enjoy your special day!!
Pretty cool husband you have there!! Happy Birthday to you! I hope you have a blessed day filled with light and joy.
De-lurking to wish you a very happy birthday!! {{{HUGS}}}
Happy Birthday!
You share this day with my mother. We are heading to a Farmer's Market and you will be in my thought as we see God's abundance!
How delightful that Kevin should have thought of organising this for you!! :o) How blessed you are to have such a thoughtful husband! ;o)
As you know from private emails, God used you to touch my life recently in a very profound way. As a result ~ even though we have only exchanged one set of email ~ I feel a special sense of kinship with you.
Wishing you an extra special birthday, Elise, and a wonderful holiday weekend!!

I'm a little, as always, but that means that my birthday wishes are even more sincere!
Happy, Joyous, Blessed Birthday to you, Elise! May this new year ahead of you be filled with new hope, abundant blessings, extra grace through trials, the wonder of promises fulfilled, a deeper faith and a closer walk with our LORD and Savior.
And be sure to give your husband and children an extra hug and kiss - store these times in your heart - they are so, so fleeting.
A few days late, but I still want to wish you a joyous birthday! What a beautiful family you have!
Dear Elise,
I agree with another poster that you are wise beyond your years. I thank God for you, because you are always a gentle, sweet, and exquisitely eloquent reminder of what it means to walk with Christ.
I love you very much, and I pray that God gives you many years to serve Him. Happy belated birthday!!
Happy belated birthday, sweet Elise. What a blessing you are!
i seem to be somewhat lagging behind here! but happy birthday all the same, dear lovely friend
and tell your hubby that he is both very cheeky for highjacking your blog, and very wonderful for doing so...! you are blessed indeed
and now i shall go and celebrate your birthday by eating chocolate on your behalf ;)
love you

Happy Birthday, my friend!!! Sorry it's been so long since I've been here. I love your new "delight" picture. You're completely radiant and glowing.
Happy Belated Birthday, friend.
I think you are tops.
The bees knees.
The cream of the crop.
You rock my socks!
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, ELISE!! I AM LATE BUT CANNOT BE LEFT OUT OF THIS!!! You are too precious and I must join in the chorus and say I, too, am so glad you were born and that I have the privilege of knowing you.
Blessings,
Karly
HAPPY (very belated) BIRTHDAY! It looks from your other post that you had a glorious day!
Oh! I'm so late to the party!! How sweet of Kevin to do this. I hope you had a happy day and pray the Lord's rich blessings on this coming year of your life. Psalm 103 - our family's birthday psalm.
Oh, I missed it! But I still want to wish you the best for many more to come; wishing you many years of service to your Lord as wife and mama.
I am a bit late because I haven't been on the computer, but I still want to give you some birthday wishes. May God bless this year, especially as a new little one is about to be added. God bless you my friend.
By the way, I haven't been able to post a note on your blog in ages. This is the first time I have had the option.
