Starting off my 43rd birthday with a quote from my all time favorite movie, "The Sound of Music". The day has already started off well with a personal note from one of our 16 year old sons about how thankful he is God brought me into his life. We adopted this particular son at age 3. He has a myriad of issues as a result of his mother's alcohol abuse and his parents early abuse of him and his siblings. He has brought great grief to us over the years, however over the last month I have been praying daily for his heart to change and we are seeing the proof of God's answered prayers. Thank you Father for your blessing.
We also have a house showing this evening- a huge surprise as house showings in this area are rare in January and rarer still where we live. God has placed a new and large vision in our minds over the last few weeks in regard to the education of our children and our community and we look forward to seeing how He brings it to pass.
One final note, yesterday would have been my Grandma Re's birthday. She passed away last year. I was privileged to attend her memorial service in October and reconnect with many relatives I hadnt seen in years (since I was a toddler, some of them). I have a book she wrote on my bookshelf and will begin reading it soon...
A happy birthday to you.
