Thank You Lord for another year !

Let the Celebration Begin !

Weekend full of exciting things to do and people to see. Lord I want to thank you for providing me with a wonderful support group family and friends. God placed theses people in my life for a reason. I pray that I am as good of friend to them as they are to me. I pray that my involvements this weekend will be full of memories I will cherish for a lifetime. I pray that I can bless others and spread the gospel of the Lord through my life.

As people get older I have heard them say “I don’t know how old I am anymore” or “I’ve stop counting”. Well this is true for me, I am either 52 or 53, I don’t care anymore. I am over the hill and being over the hill I realize age doesn’t matter to me. It matters that each day I live life to it’s fullest because tomorrow is not promised. I try to treat others with respect on a day to day basis. I celebrate with others and so they celebrate with me. My mother taught me to give her flowers while she yet lived. I know what she means, if you care about somebody let them know it as often as you can. It makes everybody feel better.

My mother was my biggest fan, she complimented me all the time and bragged about me to the point that it embarrassed me. As a young child she made me know I was special, she always wanted children and after 5 miscarriages she had me. So I was her miracle baby. She never let me forget it, she made me, I mean made me finish high school and pushed me to go to college. Without God placing her in my life I would not be the woman that I am. She would shower me with gifts all the time, often I would tell her you don’t have to do that, she would say but I want to. This is my first birthday without her. I feel her spirit as my family and friends planned for my birthday.

Oh well, I am a big girl now. I move through life without her and I am regaining who I am. She would LOVE it, absolutely love it.
