Happy Birthday to ME!

May 27, 2008 > No Comments

Today was my birthday…I turned 32. After such a busy week-end I wondered HOW I could possibly have a good day today, but it was a very good day.

We had a wonderful church service, the spirit was good among all the people and we met new friends and saw old friends. I didn’t mess up too badly on the piano (still asking the Lord to send us a *real* piano player). Sometimes I’d just love to make an announcment to everyone that I know I can’t play but am trying to fill a need. I’d just hate for someone to think that I think I can play the piano! Oh well…I am thankful that I know a little to be able to play for the Lord, as I do enjoy playing.

Besides the great fellowship with friends, our baby Susannah (5 mnths old) was dedicated this morning. I had asked Bobby to please dedicate Susannah on my birthday, so that was his present to me. A few tears were shed as I thought about how happy I am to let the Lord know Thy will be done in regards to her and our other 4 children. She is such a blessing to me and praise the Lord for His many blessings to me. I sure don’t deserve what He’s allowed me to have.

We also had a meal after the morning service with yummy food! After we all ate and cleaned up we had more preaching at 2 p.m. On 5th Sundays we have an early afternoon service to give the people an evening “off” or to go and visit another church.

We drove to Carthage, TN and visited Bro. Ron Ralph’s church www.sowingtheseedministries.com . Our whole family loves to hear Bro. Ron preach. I encourage you to listen to his preaching on Sermon Audio.

My children are always happy that it’s my birthday and they want to be sure to do something nice for me. Kaitlyn made a card for me and gave me a bracelet she had. Nathan gave me all the money he had in coins. And the twins hung a happy birthday banner up in the playroom! Susannah gave me plenty of slobbery kisses although I don’t think she knew it was my birthday!

Several people at church gave me cards and the church people are always so thoughtful to remember my birthday and gave me a card full of money and a cute wooden box that matches my den. A very sweet girl in our church picked flowers for me and presented them to me in a vase. I placed them on the piano while I played Sunday and I could smell them through the whole song service.
