Well, it happened! I had my birthday. It was THE BEST birthday ever too. My family spent the whole weekend together and I loved every minute of it.
It doesn't even bother me that I'm a whopping 48 either. Who cares? I've lived a great life and seeing a number that high doesn't faze me anymore. Being in your 40's brings out the best in a person (I think). It's not a big deal to be something you're not at this age. I've been married since I was 22, a mother since I was 23 and I've had a million different life lessons along the way that have molded me into who I am – today!
I'm surrounded by love….crazy love, somedays. But, it's real love not the fake manufactured kind. I woke up this morning (after my hubby & son left for Texas) and found a sweet love note written on my bathroom mirror. Even though I'll see them in less than a week……I felt the love he was sending — just for me.
I couldn't be more blessed.
Lord,
Your love for me is deeper than any love I could ever brag about from my family. Still, you gave me the greatest reminder in each of them just how special YOU THINK I am. Thank you for another year of life. Help me to love with a heart like yours.
Amen
