"Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." ---- Gen. 12:1-3

What a blessed day!


So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. ....
O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 
Psalm 90:12, 14

What a wonderful day I have had.  Well, actually, I've had a wonderful weekend, as well.  Today was my birthday.  It was such a relaxing day and perfect for me.  We have been celebrating all weekend for my birthday and also for a dear friend of ours.  We've had two parties and it's been so much fun.  God is so good to me!  I praise Him for His gifts of dear friends, love, joy and so much more.  I am now officially 58. Lizzy's orchid bloomed for me and our Thanksgiving cactus bloomed from Thanksgiving until my birthday, as well.  How fun to have these flowers blooming with the snow falling outside today! 

My Lizzy has spent the day with me and we have just been together talking and we've watched a couple movies and simply enjoyed our time together.  My dear husband had to go to a meeting today, so he didn't get to spend all this day with me, but we've had all weekend and for that I am thankful.  I think both Lizzy and I have caught something.  We both have the same symptoms, exactly. LOL  It was good to just sit and share the day together.

Thank you, Father, for my little family.  You know how to give me joy.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my birthday.  Thank you!

To all my faithful readers, I hope that you are blessed on your special day, as I have been on mine.
Grace and peace to you.
