My Birthday

I just had another birthday and it has caused me to reflect since I am "mid-thirties" now. To some, I am still a baby. To others I have some experience under my belt and being married for almost 14 years and having 5 kids makes me, in some people's minds, an experienced person. I am thankful for the people who think I am still a spring chicken, because I am. I think I've gotten a little smarter because I've learned about more stuff out there that I don't know anything about. But all in all, the more I think I'm on top of things, the more I realize there is so much more to know. I am thankful for the older women in my life who keep me straight and don't let me get a big head even though I may have more children than them for instance. I want to keep my perspective. I need that grounding. I am also thankful that I can offer something up to the younger women. The Lord has brought me so far and if I don't give back then I am not being a good steward of the Father's gifts.
Thank you, Father, for Birthdays. It makes me really thankful that I made it another year and I may have another year to grow.
