Word-filled Wednesday - Birthday

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
~ Psalm 118:24

Thanks to my family and friends for making my 30-something birthday so special! As we pulled in my parents' driveway on Saturday, we saw three bright balloons tied to a chair. My hubby asked who those were for and I immediately replied, "Me, for my birthday!" I felt like a giddy little girl again. Instead of cake, my mom presented a French silk pie for dessert.

We enjoyed many more sweet treats on Sunday at my hubby's brother's house during a family get-together. I'll be posting pictures from that gathering on my family blog later this week. Hope you are all rejoicing in the day the Lord has made!

I'm Still 30-Something

With my birthday coming up this Saturday, I realized that I’m still 30-something, though not for too much longer. This past year I discovered some signs that I am aging, including:

• Sneezing and throwing my back out, right before church.
• Finding a stray gray hair from time to time.
• Using a color conditioner once a week.
• Applying the Wolfberry Eye Cream twice a day.
• Taking ImmuPro to help me sleep at night.
• Avoiding food late at night, especially ice cream, because it would keep me up all night long.
• No longer thinking of Christopher and Banks as an “old ladies” store, since I now buy all my clothes there.

At her 50^th birthday party, our friend Kathy, who has since passed away, helped me realize that the thing worse than reaching a certain age is not being around to reach it at all.

Let us enjoy our journey and make our time here worthwhile.

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. ~ Psalm 90:12

Word-filled Wednesday - Creeping Things

And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely. ~ Hosea 2:18
