I love my birthday. I was born on this day in 1959.  It was a very good year. There was a time when I didn't appreciate getting another year older. I would sit and think about all the things I hadn't done. All the things I didn't have yet and of course getting older.

Now I appreciate each day.

This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.--Psalm 118:24.


I woke up happy and blessed just like my Father wants me to be.  God wants us to live an aboundant life. Free from stress and worries. Even with challenges I stay close to him to keep that peace. 

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.--John 14:27.



I need it because I plan on living long and strong because God has given us that promise. When I grow up I wanna be an old woman :).

"So you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I am giving you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may live long on the land which the LORD your God is giving you for all time."-- Deuteronomy 4:40




On April 6th I celebrated the anniversary of my second birthday. The day I gave my life to the Lord in 1982. So I am enjoying my favorite month.  Tomorrow I go to lunch with family and friends to celebrate my birthday and they pick up the tab!
 
 
How do you feel about birthdays?
