Happy Birthday to Me!
Today is my birthday. And since I messed up the math last year, I will just tell you the year and you can take it from there. 1965. It would be easier to just be perpetually 39!
I have had a wonderful day. My Bible class prayed over us again (I am so appreciative of that...it is a wonderful feeling to be literally surrounded by others in love and support and prayers. Very humbling...who am I, really, to receive that? But, they love Jesus and in imitating Him, they have taken me/us into their hearts and prayers, and I am so grateful! Thank you, Families of Faith, for showing me His love!).
...Preacher Mike (as he is known to the girls) shared a great sermon on the Sermon on the Mount, and being Palm Sunday, the girls got to take Palm Fronds to the front. That, of course, included Ellabeth bursting into tears right beforehand (the congregation clapped for some special music, and most everyone knows Ellabeth does not "do" clapping), her losing a shoe going down the aisle, and Mark getting separated from Annaleigh who exited the wrong way. Annaleigh, being the smart girl she is, must have realized it because she danced her way back across stage, jumped off a step or two, and connected with me, leaving Mark childless on the side of the stage he had just made a mad dash to. It all makes me smile!
...and we went to Johnny Carino's (after pinch hitting a potty-training accident)where we had a nice time and some good Italian....
...came home, heard both girls sing Happy Birthday, opened cards and gifts...
...and in the afternoon, we all went to the ACU campus and walked the new walking/jogging track. It was perfect weather, I took my camera, and got some pictures of the girls. I love afternoons like this! Perfect.
Nothing profound, just Happy Birthday to Me. Thanks to everyone and thanks, Lord, for the perfect afternoon.
