Today we are celebrating my husband turning another year older. Aging is an unstoppable fact, but the way we grow older is up to us. It is what we do with the time we are given everyday that adds up to a life well lived. Will another year be spent on others or self? Because I get a front row seat, I can say with all honesty, this man lives for others. His kindness, wisdom, grace, patience and love come from above. The One he relies on has not failed him yet, even when I have my doubts. Faith is not always our natural response, but he helps direct our family in looking to our Creator in all things. The gift he is giving to our children, giving them a trustworthy example, will be rewarded. He is stewarding well what he has been given. How do you just celebrate this kind of man for just one day?

Happy Birthday, Damon! I love you.
