38!
Today is my birthday. I am 38. Honestly due to the lack of sleep, I am feeling it this year. :) My kids made my day though this morning. They grabbed Abe from me (he ends up with me each night) and told me to go back to sleep. Glorious!!! I woke up at 8:45, they handed me a perfect cup of my favorite Gobena coffee, and gave me the best homemade cards in the world. Is there anything better than a hand crafted card from kids? They were each so sweet with their words and they even traced Abey's hand on his card! :)Avery painted this canvas for me. She used 2 of my favorite colors and painted one of my favorite verses-- James 1:27. She knows my heart well, and I know the Lord has placed a special place in her heart for all the orphans in the world too. She painted an Ethiopian cross on it to make it the perfect gift! I love the time and thoughtfulness that went into making me this gift.
So today, I will celebrate all that I have and forget about the wrinkles and gray hairs on my head. I will embrace the precious gifts before me (and one in Ethiopia) and a dear hubby that makes me feel like a queen.
