Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my birthday. As my husband says I am half way to 70, my children say I'm forty, forty nine and a hundred. So how old am I? I am 35. I am very thankful for the birthdays I have. When I was 28 I was not looking forward to being 30. I dreaded it, but then I got very sick. Almost died, was given a one percent chance to live. I believe I would have died had it not been for the prayers of so many people. God healed my body and allowed me to live. I have been enjoying my birthdays ever since and so far it doesn't bother me to get older, even though I do struggle with the gray hairs, etc. Ha!!!

Today we don't have anything planned as our van is still broke down so we can't go anywhere. Tim and Alexis have went to a funeral. The boys have cleaned the house for me. They did a pretty good job. Trevor baked a cake and we are waiting on it to cool so that they can frost it. I am making some bread today because we could not find any at the stores yesterday that didn't cost a fortune. I have lasagna planned for supper,but Tim may come home and decide to cook something. He likes to cook and I enjoy it when he does.

If anything exciting would happen to happen today then I will post about it later.

I am very thankful to God for allowing me to live, He has blessed me with so many things. I have wonderful parents, growing up I didn't think that, but as I am getting older I'm glad God gave me to them. I miss them very much. I miss talking to my mom every day. I still get to talk to them, but not as often now. I am very thankful for the Godly upbringing they instilled into my life. I also have one set of grandparents still alive. They have been an encouragement to me over the years. They are a wonderful example of how to live a Godly life.
Then my in-laws. They are great people. I have gotten to know them while we lived in NC. They have been a big help to us in so many ways and a blessing. We appreciate them so much. I am also thankful for my husband. He has stood by me through many trials, happiness, sadness, etc. I am learning to love him more and more. Then God blessed us with four beautiful children. They are a lot of fun to watch and life my spirits many times by little things they say and do. God has blessed me and I am so thankful for another birthday to be alive and to serve Him.
