Proverbs 12:25
Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.

Today I will dedicate this verse to my son in law, Anthony.  Some people call him Tone or Anth, but he has always been Anthony to me.  I met him when he was 16 years old.  He seemed like a nice kid.  Justine liked him alot.  He didn't have his driver's license so Teen had to go pick him up when they went out.  He was a hard worker and seem very quiet.

Today he turns 33.  WOW!  That means I'm old.  But this is not about me.  Anthony has loved my Justine so well for 17 years.  ( I'm crying now.)  I've watched him grow from a cute teenage boy to a strong handsome man with hair on his chest.  He has worked hard as a dish washer at Noble's Restaurant, a cook and chef at Montery Bay on Mt. Washington.  Then he traveled and studied for 5 years to get a Bachelors Degree in Environmental Science.
  
He has kept my daughter safe, secure, and happy as they explore this world we live in. With visits to Spain, Italy, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand,and Peru
.
Lord, I don't know what you have planned next for Anthony, but I pray it will be amazing.  Keep him on the path You have set for him before he was born
.
Psalm 139:13  For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

Bless Anthony, because he is kind, generous and patient. Take away any anxiety he may be experiencing and protect him today and everyday.  Help him to seek You.  Teach him to trust You.  Amen
