Celebrating 50 Years of Life: A Tribute to My Wonderful Wife
ToBolatito Oyindamola Adeniy-Aderoju, (Awero)
As the sun rises on this momentous day, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey we've shared together. Today, we celebrate not just the passing of 50 years but the culmination of countless cherished moments, challenges conquered, and dreams realized. You, my dear wife, are the heart and soul of this beautiful journey.
From the very first moment our paths crossed, I knew there was something extraordinary about you. Through every season of life, you have remained a constant source of inspiration and comfort to all you hold dear. As we mark this milestone, I can't help but marvel at the remarkable woman you've become. Your wisdom has grown deeper with each passing year, and your ability to find joy in the simplest of moments continues to amaze me. Your love for our family knows no bounds, and the way you've nurtured our children and guided them into
adulthood is a testament to your incredible motherhood.
But it's not just your roles as a wife and mother that define you. Your strength in facing challenges head-on, your unwavering compassion for others, and your determination to make the world a better place have all left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know you.
As we step into this new chapter of life, I am excited to see where our journey will take us next. I have no doubt that the coming years will be filled with new adventures, continued growth, and an even deeper love that defies time itself.
So, here's to you, Awero, on your 50th birthday. May this day be a reflection of the immense joy and love you've brought into the lives of those around you. May it serve as a reminder of the incredible impact you've had and the countless lives you've touched. And as we celebrate this milestone, know that our love for you burns brighter with each passing day.
Happy birthday, my dear wife. Here's to 50 years of cherished memories and an eternity of God’s Blessings, love and happiness ahead.
With love, Adeniyi
First Bible Reading
Leviticus 25:8-10 NKJV
‘And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family.
First hymn: Morning Has Broken
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Second Bible Reading: Zephaniah 3:17-19 NKJV
‘The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” “I will gather those who sorrow over the appointed assembly, Who are among you, To whom its reproach is a burden. Behold, at that time I will deal with all who afflict you; I will save the lame, And gather those who were driven out; I will appoint them for praise and fame In every land where they were put to shame’
Second Hymn: Blessed Assurance
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of his Spirit, washed in His blood
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
Perfect submission, perfect delight
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
Praising my Savior all the day long
Appreciation
Our deepest gratitude for your show of love by being a part of this celebration of God’s faithfulness in my life. I pray that God will bless and reward you and yours mightily. Amen.
