Josef, Happy 40th Birthday.  Look closely at the mirror, then reminisce the past, diba mas gwapo kana ngaun?  That’s the benefit of being in the 40’s, you will look your best. As our age matures, we find ourselves giving joy and happiness to others, rather than looking for one. If there is one person in the world who is the best in doing so, it’s you.   Wishing you all the best today and for the years ahead, may your life be filled with happiness and Blessing from the Lord.    Happiest Birthday to you dear cousin. -Achi Che

Congratulations on reaching this milestone, brother! Thank you for all the genuine and practical conversations over the years, as well as the spiritual supply. I still remember your testimony on the Lord bringing you through your thesis! We appreciate your portion in the Body.

Here’s to another 40 years (or more!) of running the race of life. Grace to you and your family!

Ahia sef, wishing you the happiest of birthdays! Thank you for being an ahia to not only your blood siblings, but also to your spiritual brothers and sisters. We love and appreciate you!

They say age is just a number. Well…when it comes to numbers, you have always been the Best!

So glad you have turned out to be the person you are today. And, hoping you continue to be a blessing to many others like you have been to us all these years - a true brother and a friend no matter the times or the season that life throws.

May another year that is added to you be an exponential celebration of your life to everyone around you. This statement/equation absolutely does not make sense but something everyone knows is accurate 😀

Happiest Birthday to you my brother! Many more years to come!

I remember you as the most approachable one when we were still having children's meeting in caloocan and being left at the top floor during LTM with uncle Philip's children. And up until we've met again when I moved to QC, you were still welcoming and warm. I always enjoy listening to your sharing coz it's always so relatable, and you always seem to make things light. Thank you for your shepherding and prayers especially when I was pregnant and challenged in my health. May we pursue toward the goal and grow in the Lord together in the Body. Happy 40th! - abi :)

To one of the church ahya’s I look up to… Cheers to another year our good good Lord has added to your life. While we do encounter more things as we go on through life, we are blessed to have Someone and each other (esp in the church) to share our burdens with. In the process, we become wiser, stronger and more seasoned in life… especially for our next generation. That’s who you are to me (and many more) whenever I find you sharing a piece (or two) of your thoughts. Praying that this new beginning would pave the way for more cheers, blessings and grace in beautiful abundance to come you way. Happy birthday, Ahya Josef. May you have a great and awesome one today and the year ahead! - Bethel

Hope welcome to the club ;) Life begins at 40 as they say. Definitely it marks a beginning of a new another chapter in your life. Thank the Lord for preserving us in the church life all these years. We do look forward to what’s ahead and more experiences of the Lord in the journey that He has set before us. May we be kept loving Him, experiencing Him, and enjoying Him with ALL THOSE.  May the Lord bless you and your family with good health and more Christ.

Happy birthday! Just the other day, I was having those moments where I am so anxious about many things. Kahit anong isip ko, it doesnt really help. But I thank the Lord that I have siblings, especially an older brother like you. You took on a heavy ‘role’ nung nawala si papa. A shoulder that we can all lean on. Its quite hard, I think we can all feel that. But don’t forget that it also goes both ways. You can also lean on us. We are not just outward brothers but also brothers in Christ. Much more grace to you and your family - Joh and Jam

Congratulations for this milestone. Normally I hear people say that life begins at 40. Actually every birthday whether 40, 41 45 are all precious. Because God has given us opportunity to live life to the fullest and we are given a chance to know the Lord more and grow more in Him.

Below is a quotation from the CWWN about Redeeming the Time:
"...Whether or not you are a Christian, as the years pass by, do you have any special feelings or impressions, or do the years mean anything special to you? I do not know what you think, but for me, every year means a little more opportunity. To lose the opportunity is to miss the time. Today, whether or not you are a Christian, the first question to ask yourself is whether you have missed your opportunity.
One proverb says, “Opportunity enters by the door, but flies out through the window.” This is true. You have to open the door to invite the opportunity to come in, but it can go out without waiting for you to open the door. Therefore, for those who are here, if you are not saved, you should seek the opportunity to be saved. If you are already saved, you should seek the opportunity to serve the Lord; you should seek the opportunity to love others, and you should seek the opportunity to save men.
We have just read the phrase “redeeming the time” (Eph. 5:16). [68] Redeeming in the original text means “buying back.” Brothers and sisters, God gives us time. It is like capital to a businessman. Time is our capital. Perhaps year after year you have done many things which are excellent, or perhaps year after year, as a businessman who has suffered loss, you have just been wasting your time away. Perhaps some have had few opportunities but they have accomplished much, or some have had many opportunities yet they have not accomplished anything. However, this year we have to redeem our time. God has given us time and expects us to make good use of it in the same way that businessmen make good use of their capital. May we all use our time properly, and may we not allow it to pass by vainly and to become wasted."

Greetings to your wife Raquel and the two boys. Want to add one more girl while you still have opportunity? -- Lawrence

Age 40 is about time for you to get a midlife crisis XD If you're ever feeling down or bored, just call us up. Thanks for being a  great big brother and for all that you do for the family. We truly appreciate being able to rely on you for many things. But while you are busy managing hundreds of things, just remember to take a break and seek renewing and washing from the Lord. I pray you will find joy and satisfaction in Christ. Happy birthday! --JL
