Counting my blessings...

This week I turned 37 years old... age is nothing but a number, you are only as old as you feel... blah blah blah! UGH! I bet the people who made that up are dead! I am not sure what my hang up about aging is... I am pretty sure it has to do with getting wrinkled up skin and drooping body parts! The boys embrace my anti aging thoughts and all play along with the fact that I am turning 25 EVERY YEAR! We all laugh about it and it is very sweet, but lets face it... I look awful for 25! I should be telling people I am turning 60... I think I would look HOT for 60! It is all in how you sell it! ;-)

The fact of the matter is... I AM 37! I have a wonderful husband who loves me, who respects me, who may not always get it, but he gets what matters! He reminds me that he looks forward to growing old with me and that one day we will have a perfect body with Christ!

I have four beautiful and healthy boys (who are NOT perfect- but then again none of us are) who though they have their moments, they do love me.

I have an amazing mom, who showed me what it was like to sacrifice for and love your children with everything you have.

I have amazing in-laws (which not many people can say) who have taken me in and treated me as their own child.

I have wonderful friends (though some way too far away) who have loved me and become my family despite my many imperfections!

Last, but far from least, I have my Jesus who chose to save me from my sin and make me a child of God! Praising God today for all of my many undeserved blessings!

So, I will thank God for my 37th birthday as well. Every day is a gift from Him and I will rejoice and be glad in it!
