Another year

I was in the Doctor’s waiting room this past week, waiting while my two oldest got their sports physicals done.  I leafed through a multitude of magazines.  Something in one of them struck me enough to write it down. 

Why I love my age.  “Maybe if you’re younger you have more energy – but that’s a big maybe.  Because at this stage of life, I have more patience, understanding, wisdom, resources, and a husband.  I didn’t get him until I was 39, but I got a good one.  -Angela Bassett

When Leah and I spent the day at Cedar Point earlier this summer, there was lots of talk about the rides, how old they are, which ones were there when I was young.  Leah asked me if I ever wish I was young again.  My response was “do I have to repeat all the same things I’ve already lived through?  If I do then, NO.  If I get a different life, then yes.”

When I checked my blog roll this morning, I saw that Leslie's Blog said, “In the Arms of God”.  Leslie went to Heaven yesterday after 32 years.

Today is my 36th birthday. 

I thank God for my health, patience, understanding, wisdom, and resources HE has given to me.

I am thankful I can spend the day with my 6 WONDERFUL children.  My church family.  And I have a friend (and her kids) from out of state traveling today to come and spend the week here with us!

Thank YOU Jesus for LIFE!  May I live it for YOUR glory!
