The Big One

I will celebrate another birthday this week. It is the big one....well it seems that no matter if it is 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, or 90 we call it the big one. Those big round numbers seem to have an affect on how we "feel". Though it seems a time of getting "old", I am thankful for each and every day. I do realize that I have lived more of my life than I have remaining to live...at least on this earth...don't think I can make it to 120. Thank the Lord, I know Him as my personal Savior and I will have eternal (never ending) life with my heavenly Father. And, there will be no pain, suffering or sorrow....no politics,Wall Street, hate, crime and so on. This may sound like I am complaining or depressed.....quite the contrary. I am so very blessed..one only need look at some of my pictures posted to see that I have the most precious grandchildren, children/in-laws, husband, and other family members one could have. I hope each of you realize and appreciate your blessings, and that you know the Savior personally. I wanted to share a verse I received on a birthday card from my church signed by the pastor and minister of music. I thought is was worth sharing this morning. It was given as My Birthverse:

"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful".
Hebrews 10:23


Have a great day! FYI - My daddy will be "90", November 4th...he reminds us of his birthday daily.
