"We find a solution together using threats and guilt."

Toula seeks to avoid a family argument with her aunt Voula:

Toula: "Can we please not discuss it?"

Voula: "No. That's not what we do.
We yell and scream.
We find a solution together
using threats and guilt."

“Your life as a Christian should make non-believers question their disbelief in God.”

Today is My Birthday, Lord

Today is My Birthday, Lord

Of all the gifts I've received
I hold the gift of Your Love
closest to my heart.

Of all the friends I've known,
I cherish above all Your Friendship.

There have been difficult days on this journey called Life,
even sorrow,
but You have been there for me.

There has been joy and laughter
and I've seen Your presence there.

You breathed life into my soul
and You chose me to live!

I hope You are pleased with me.

I ask that You forgive me when I fail You.

Today is my birthday, Lord,
and I offer this day to You.

I ask only that You walk with me.

Lead me home, O Lord,
where we will celebrate this journey
of friendship and love
in the everlasting life prepared by You.

Thank You for this birthday, Lord!
