ONCE THOUGHT THE DREADED DAY IS A BLESSING!

I wake up this morning another year older --- 37!!!!. I can't believe how fast time flies, I remember being in my 20's a short time ago! With 3 kids, another on the way & homeschooling my days zip past me which turn into weeks, months and years. They all seem to run in each other! I went to bed thinking UGH -  I am closer to 40 then so 50 and so on. Then God reminds me of His blessings and then I am filled with thankfulness - He gave me another year of life with my children, husband, family, friends and He has given us a new blessing this year in  my tummy! Praise God for his faithfulness and His blessings! Nomore dreading this day, birthdays should be filled with thankfulness for His blessings! When it's your birthday think of all the wonderful blessings He has given you throughout the year!

    I know what you mean....I'm approaching 40 and sometimes wonder why the world creeps in and tells us that's a bad thing. Be blessed....enjoy your day....it's a day that God blessed the world with you and the plan he has for you!!!

    Happy birthday! I'm roughly 6 months away from my own 37th birthday, it's hard to believe that I'm closer to 40 than 30 at this point.
