Birthdays

Days are important, some are not but secial days are! Birthdays of special ages appear to be most important. This past Sunday my daughter had her 50th. Who has a daughter that is 50. I certainly thought I would not, January, 1959, a special daughter was born. Everyone in the family, which was small at that time ,was overjoyed. Both sets of grandparents, single uncles, no appearance of aunts as yet to welcome her. She grew up to be a sister to a brother and two more sisters. Three of them were pretty much the same age but they all got a suprise when the youngest sister arrived as she was 14 years younger than they were. In their teen years they all said, “when I turn 18 I am leaving”,but much to their suprise, their hearts were turned by love of their little sister and the strength of being a family. We have all had our ups and downs but have hung in there together by the grace of God and all our hard work. Having hope and a faith enduring keeps us all going in the directions that the Lord is leading. In this time of  unease in our nation, we will continue on to believe and have our faith as our foundation for the future.
