One of the kids took this picture of us today. We have been celebrating my birthday and its been a good day. One of the things that came to mind, when I saw this photo, is that I am not the same. A year of growing in the same direction changes us. Another year to look back and continue to be amazed at the evidence of our good God. Perfection is not what He asked of me, but wholehearted devotion. He has my heart and fills it with love for this family of ours. I do not know what this forty eighth year holds, but I know the One who already has the story written before even a day is lived. I look forward to living each page.
