A Happy Philip

Happy 22nd birthday Brother; you are really loved.

Philip requested Nicole's scrumptious cheesecake as his birthday dessert, and he got it. However, she opted not to make the traditional, yet simple, type of cheesecake. She combined Philip's love for her cheesecakes and apple pies. "Yum-o" hardly describes this delicious hybrid.

Philip requested Yashima--our family fave for Japanese cuisine--for his birthday dinner with the family, and he got it.

My prayer for Philip this year: To remember the grace of God and to be thankful for His mercies.
