Happy Birthday to Me!

Ok, today isn't my birthday, but it was 3 days ago.



On Monday, I had one of the best birthday celebrations I've ever had. My three ladies (Shami, Baylee and Savanah) took my out for lunch at AppleBees, then took me to Steve and Barry's and got me a shirt and pants as a gift and finally when we got home they made me a great cake that we all are still enjoying!



That day was so fantastic!



I don't know about you, but I still get that internal butterfly excitement every time I get a card or a present. I can't wait to see what it says, or what might be inside. As I think of that feeling, I can't help thinking about how God feels as He watches us receive His big "Card" or his incredible "Gifts."



I always wonder what people think the Bible is. To some its just a bunch of old, mystical writings that have symbolic meaning. Others, it's an Almighty Creators' Rules and Regulations. Some it's an instruction manual while others it's a love letter from a Father to his kids or loved ones.

I simply think that the Bible is for us to Reflect on who God is and Delight in what He has done and be Refreshed by the words that are inside.

I'll share more sometime soon. Gotta get the groceries!!!
