Dear Mirjana,
“Remember your creator in the
days of your youth” Ecc 12:1
It’s always so nice to remember some one as special as you, and sending you happiest wishes
is always a pleasure too, and your birthday is a perfect occasion, for hoping that your future holds all the best things that
life could present you as every day unfolds.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not your own understanding” Prov:3:5
“Do not swerve to the right or the left,
keep your foot from evil” Prov 4:27
A birthday prayer from grandma..
Dear Lord, I’m
asking you to Bless darling Mirjana in a special way, that she will know you and your valuable words within her heart, that
some one prayed for her today, that she will know she is cared for and loved, and have such a sense of peace, that 16th
b’day will be perfect and her joys will just increase as you promised to her. Darling I said a prayer for you today
the way often I do. I asked the Lord to fill your day with joy and blessings too. I asked Him to be closer
to you and hear you when you call and give to you life sweetest gifts for you deserve them all.
From
Loving Grandma

| Great Grandma & Grand Parents blessings, read by Janu (Aunty) |
Let us grab a handful
of minutes of your attention and congratulate our B’ day girl Mirjana on her 16th Birthday and wish her a
couple of things. Even though we are very far away, we are very glad to see you celebrate your 16th
birthday in the midst of your parents, relatives and friends.
Today is
one of the greatest events in your life. It is your sweet 16th birthday. You
will remember it as the bright and happy day when you have all your friends. Your family and your friends
are the most precious things in your life.
When we look at you as a grown
up, we would honestly say you are an amazing person. On behalf of our family, on this special day we would
like to wish you a simple human happiness. We wish you a life full of pleasant little trifles and joys
that give you strength to make great achievements and reach your goals.
Well
– Sweety, we want you to shine with that beautiful smile everyday. Your kind heart and caring attitude
should fill every one’s heart with happiness. Your parents should be grateful to their destiny for
having such a wonderful daughter. Your family is proud of you, because we see your potential and we know
that you can do anything you really want. Some wise man said, “Your talent is God’s gift to
you. What you do with it is your gift back to God”. We hope you’ll realize
your gift and return it back to God. Be that shiny and loving person what you are now! But
remember that “In between the goals there is something called life, which has to be lived and enjoyed”.
We wish you to find and strike the golden balance between studies and enjoyment in your life – both are extremely
important.
While describing your
qualities and attitudes, we would also like to talk a few words about the temptations and defiance that you will have to go
through in your life cycle. In a year or two you will be stepping into the reality which is full of challenges
and temptations. Our letter would not be complete if we do not touch the base on this. It
is important to emphasize that all challenges are timely and they are not accidental. God tests us in such
way. You are not alone as long as you have faith in God.
There
is no sense in crying over a trouble – “the best way is to always get through it”. We
have met a lot of people who overcame the storms of their life with dignity and faith. They all admit that these challenges
made their lives brighter. Everyone here faces lot of challenges in their life and came to this level,
in good position. We know about your dad how much struggle and challenges he had in his life.
Now he has given a very good life to you. In the same way, your mum is facing lots of challenges
in her life.
If you take this generation, you have got so many annas as
a role model for you. For example, Vinodh and Avi etc.
We
thank you for your patience and for the opportunity being given. God bless you.
Mirjana! We wish your entire dream comes true!
Thank you one and all.
