…Dear Son, Stephen Clark Allen…
…Happy Birthday”…

Thirty-Three years ago God gifted your family, the church, and your world with one of the finest gifts given in flesh and blood, heart and spirit, mind and talent in the person I love and greet with the heartiest “Happy Birthday” well-wishes, earnest-prayers and continued bright prospects. Yours is the life to respect, emulate, and honor, and that we do, your proud family, siblings and their spouses, our grandchildren, and your ever-growing circle of friends and family. “Happy Birthday”… These expressions are at the root meaning of the worth of your life, and not just any life and every life, but your life, Stephen.

The worth of your life,

…Stephen Clark Allen…

is like the worth of everything and everyone more valuable than the stones, like gold, diamonds, silver, rubies, emeralds, and all other building materials employed in the celestial mansions above. No, those valued things are used as building materials to house those of such worth, as you are…

…Stephen Clark Allen…

Your worth is known by and appraised by all who count you, their friend, brother, servant, sibling, child, mentor, colleague, and Minster, to all who know you.

Your worth is least known by you, yourself, and typically that only enhances your worth, significance, impact, contribution, meaning and influence.

As your father, I hold cherished confidences, fond hopes, and dynamic dreams, with buoyancy that your ministry will arise. As you, by precept and example, lead others, they will be like kind. You will launch from the school of your life influence, the progeny they are to ensure a continuity of your precept and example of the greatest things of God alive in their lives as yours, with a permanence believed, convicted, and lived by both you and them. I am proud of you. I love you. I respect you.

I salute you, with the wealthiest, healthiest, wisest, wishes and prayers!

…“Happy Birthday”…Stephen Clark Allen…

Love, Dad,

En Theos, En Agape

(In dynamic Godly enthusiasm and in fervent Christian love, I salute you!)
