April 11, 2008

What it can't be! How did I turn up 60 today. That sounds old. Why don't I feel old - except for a couple health issues that I'm working on.

I wonder about the next couple decades of my life. What plans does God have? I want to be challenged to do my best for Him. Please don't sit me on a shelf.

I appreciated the fireworks He provided today. These Southern storms can be annoying but the one today I took as celebration.

To my kids and grandkids. Live your life for others. Live your life full speed ahead.

Regrets: Now this sounds like a song "Regrets, I have a few" - biggest being - I wish I had known Jesus as my personal Saviour earlier in my life. I knew about Him, but I didn't commit my life to Him, until our boys were teenagers. Praise God, He protected them and guided their every path. But I missed out on doing important things like daily devotions with them, etc. I would know them more deeply if I had.

Can't believe I never prayed for them until they were teenagers unless they were sick or hurt.

It humbles me God's great and loving care.

Thanks for life and love!

Congrats Barb on your 60th birthday (life is just beginning-hang on for the ride to come)--lets hope the Nashville Preds can give you a win for your birthday present---no regrets---give thanks that God did enter your life as I know you do---lets hope he is a Preds fan and a Flames fan because we will need some divine intervention.

Happy Birthday

You are right about Divine intervention. I was surprised to see anybody still reads my blog, I thought we were all into Facebook!

Thanks. Go Flames, Go Preds Go!
