Happy 40th Birthday Chad!


Chad,

 I love June 11th! It's one of my favorite days of the year! Any excuse to celebrate your life makes a great day in my world!
 
HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY!
 
Today you have been on this earth for 40 years! Isn't that crazy!?!?!? In that short time you have impacted the lives of many. You have been a friend, encourager,care-giver , comforter, and so much more. I have always been amazed at how you jump at the chance to help friends and family in need. You have a genuine love and compassion for people. Others recognize this quality in you…which is why your phone is always ringing! God calls us to love each other. He must be so proud of the child He has in Chad Davis!

I want to thank you for the husband that you are! You loved me even when I didn’t love myself. The person that I was before Christ got a hold of my life was less than desirable. I am still not sure what you saw in that 23 year old girl…oh but I am so thankful that you chose me to be your one and only! I strive to be a Proverbs 31 wife every day. I fail at it …EVERY. DAY. Then you remind me... in your own special way... that no matter what, I am loved and adored. I am so thankful and humbled to be your partner in this journey called life. God has blessed me much more than I deserve.

I always knew that you would be a great father….but you have blown away all of my dreams and expectations. Your love and passion for our children is like nothing I have ever seen. They live for their daddy…for your smile and attention. Each day when you come home from work is like a HUGE reunion! The home that you built is our little piece of heaven on earth. Eva and Colt are so blessed to be able to call you “daddy”…and they know it! I can’t wait for other children to experience the love of Jesus through you! (wink wink)

Thank you for your hard work and dedication to this family and to your friends. I have learned what strength looks like through your life... I have learned what humility looks like also.

It is my prayer that you continue to be the man God has designed…That you seek His face in everything you do. I have loved watching Him at work in your life. I can’t wait to see how He continues to use you for His glory! Watch out baby…the next 40 years will be your biggest adventure yet!

I want to share some words that Pastor Doug and his wife put in your birthday book:

                        "40" is not just another number
* For 40 days God let it rain to let His earth begin again
* For 40 years God prepared Moses to lead His people
* For 40 days Christ was alone to glorify His father by withstanding the temptation of Satan
* For 40 years the children wandered in the wilderness before making it to the home God chose for them.

It has taken 40 years for God to make you into the man you are today - husband, father, friend

Chad...you are ready...it is time!

Happy Birthday my love!

Erin
