Birthday Blessings

I’m 41 today!  And how blessed I am…

·        God’s grace and mercy covers me EVERY day
·        My exodus from captivity (pre-Meniere’s) and being on the precipice of the Promised Land (health restoration)
·        God’s unfailing love
·        My husband – who has taken the vow of “in sickness and in health” and shown how it’s lived out
·        My beautiful, smart, healthy, funny, loving kids
·        My supportive and encouraging parents
·        My mom – who took me to church and taught me about Jesus very early on
·        My friends – true friends who have proven their love for me over the last two years
·        My best friend, Summer – a Jonathan/David friendship of two souls
·        My church, North Monroe Baptist – who cares and prays and encourages, without ceasing
·        My Faulk & Foster job, which is so much more – it’s family
·        A beautiful home, reliable car, comfortable clothes and abundant food
·        My health!

Psalm 103:1-5
1Praise the Lord, my soul;
    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,

    and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all my sins
    and heals all my diseases,
4 who redeems my life from the pit
    and crowns me with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies my desires with good things
    so that my youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
I can’t imagine anyone having a better birthday than this!
