Jan 21 BIRTHDAY morning update

Today is Dad's birthday, number 77.  Although we cannot celebrate his birthday in the usual manner, we can still celebrate the event that brought him to all of us.  We are looking forward to enjoying the next one under better circumstances.

Happy birthday Dad!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KARL-- This year it's not the best of times or circumstances, but always a good time to remember that
GOD KNEW YOU FIRST (Ps.139) "You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth your eyes saw my unformed body."
GOD KNOWS YOU BEST - "Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise . . . you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely. You hem me in - behind and before; you laid your hand on me."
GOD LOVES YOU MOST - All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts O God. How vast is the sum of them!" "Lo, I am with you always" . .. "Cast your cares on the Lord." . . . "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition present your requests to God" . . ."For GOD SO LOVED (YOU, Karl)he gave His only begotten Son..." KARL, you know you are always in the loving and powerful hands of the Savior.

We love you -- pray for your healing-- look forward to a "birthday dinner" before too long.
Larry and Beth

P.S. OBEY your doctors -- be patient -- healing takes time!

Happy Birthday to you Mr. Gerardi. I am sending you a great big hug and kiss. You are a great hugger and I always enjoy a hug from you. Concentrate on getting better so we can have a real birthday bash at a later date. We always love seeing you and plan to do so as soon as you are up to it. Hugs and Kisses, Curt, Sharlene And family

Happy Birthday Mr. Gerardi! You may not be able to dance for 77 but that will make 78 that much sweeter. We've been following your progress through the blog. What a fantastic tool to keep everyone informed.
Know that all the Chinavares are praying for you.
Larry and Beth had good advice:
Obey the Doctors, be patient--healing takes time. We only have one of you, so we'll be patient while you get back on your feet.
Happy Birthday!
