In the tapestry of time, there are threads that shimmer with the brilliance of divine favor, weaving stories that inspire generations.
Today, we celebrate such a luminous thread, a life that has not only been blessed but has also been a blessing beyond measure. As we honor Mama GTA on her 95th birthday, we find ourselves in awe of the masterpiece that God has painted with her years.
Mama GTA, you are the embodiment of God’s rich and matchless grace, a living testament to the wonders of God’s amazing mercy and love.
Your life is a symphony composed by the Almighty, each note resonating with wisdom, kindness, and unwavering faith. At 95, you stand as a beacon of hope and strength, a matriarch whose legacy is as enduring as the stars in the heavens.
Your journey through the annals of time has been marked by countless moments of joy, trials and triumph. Like Joseph, whom, “The archers fiercely attacked, shot at and pressed hard. But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob,” you have faced adversity with steadfast resilience. Like a majestic oak tree, you have stood firm through the tempests of life, your roots deep in faith, your branches reaching out in love. Your heart, a reservoir of compassion, has touched many lives, and your unwavering spirit has been a source of inspiration to all who have been blessed to know you.
In your eyes, we see the reflection of a century nearly lived, each wrinkle a testament to the stories of yesteryears, each smile a glimpse of the joy you have spread. Your hands, though aged, carry the strength of a thousand embraces, a thousand acts of kindness. Your voice, soft yet commanding, carries the wisdom of ages, guiding us, your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, with gentle counsel.
As we celebrate this momentous occasion, we are reminded of the profound impact you have had on our lives. Your unwavering faith has been a lighthouse, guiding us through the storms of doubt and uncertainty. Your boundless love has been a safe haven, a warm embrace that has comforted us in times of sorrow and rejoiced with us in times of happiness.
Mama GTA, at 95, you are a living testament to God’s amazing grace. Your life, a tapestry of blessings, continues to inspire us to live with purpose, to love with abandon, and to trust in the boundless mercy of our Creator. Today, we celebrate not just your years but the essence of who you are – a paragon of virtue, a beacon of light, and a true epitome of God’s amazing grace.
When you reach the venerable age of 130, we will recall the words of Jacob to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty. FEW and sorrowful have been the days of my life, and they have not equaled the years that my fathers lived in their pilgrimage.” Yet, in our eyes, even such an age will seem but a fleeting moment. We shall beseech the Almighty for more years, filled with strength and vitality, so that you may continue to lead and inspire us.
Happy 95th Birthday, dearest Mama GTA. May your days continue to be filled with joy, peace, and the boundless love of those whose lives you have touched so profoundly.
Warm Regards,
Chief & Chief (Mrs) Do-Good O. Efe-Nogo (JP)
