Today is my birthday!
It may cross the etiquette line to tell people it is your birthday, but I am so thankful God has blessed my with another year. I am so OK with birthdays and growing older.
How can I be excited about aging?
It is just a theory, and only a theory, but I have come very close to losing those I love, on several occasions. And in the case of my dad, mother-in-law and brother-in-law, friend and mentor Kathy Inoue, I have witnessed God's hand in ushering them into eternity at relatively young ages.
I want to grow old gracefully. Thanking God for the years on earth that he has in trusted to me.
Yes, there are days when I look in the mirror and sigh, at the sign, of another line beginning to form on my face. Or the fact, the every part of my body, seems 2 inches lower than it did 20 years ago:)
But today, I am embracing 46, and I am blessed!
Psalm 90:12 Teach us to number our days aright that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
