It's My Birthday!

Today I am 53 years old. I don't remember getting all the way to 53!

It seems only yesterday that I was at my Nana and Papa's house catching fireflies, or taking Sunday drives with my mom and daddy, seeing Steve the very first time, my wedding, the eyes and smiles ~ very lives of my babies, my son in law asking permission to marry our daughter, ... many, many memories!

I have received so many seen and unseen blessings that it overwhelms me! Today as I read the facebook 'happy birthday' messages I could hardly contain myself. Family and friends~ some from long ago ~some that are new ~and countless young adults who have come into my life and mean so very, very much to me.

I know that if God took His hand of grace from me this minute, that I would still praise Him everyday if for nothing else but the people He has put in my path. I love Him so much for knowing me so well and for bringing so many wonderful people to me.
