I know you know, Lord, but this girl--
this fierce, funny, friend-making, firecracker,  force of nature--
turns ten today. TEN! 

"Though she be but little, she is fierce."
And though she be but ten, it feels like she has held my heart for much longer. 
And though she be the youngest in the family, you have done great things in her, and I know you have great plans for her. 

Oh, Lord, thank you for her health, vivacity, personality, perspicacity, and all the sugar and vinegar with which you've filled her. Please make this coming year the best yet for her. Give her a wonderful birthday, a blessed school year, and every joy in the days, weeks, months, and years to come, in Jesus' name, amen.
