At the wondrous moment you were born, as you took your first breath, a great celebration was held in the heavens and magnificent gifts were granted to you.
The first gift is STRENGTH. May you remember to call upon it whenever you need it.
The second gift is COURAGE. May you speak and act with confidence and use courage to follow your own path.
The third gift is COMPASSION. May you be gentle with yourself and others.
The fourth gift is HOPE. May you trust the goodness of life.
Next is JOY. May it keep your heart open and filled with light.
The sixth gift is TALENT. May you discover your own special abilities.
The seventh gift is WISDOM. Wisdom will lead you through knowledge to understanding.
The next gift is LOVE. It will grow each time you give it away.
The final gift is FAITH. May you believe.
