A little while ago I had my 35th birthday. It was a really special day. I generally don't have great anticipations with my birthdays but the Lord truly blessed me on my birthday this year. These were the special blessings from my birthday:
My parents visiting from Wheaton and my mom offering to make me whatever I wanted for supper for a special birthday meal!
Attending a new Prayer time with some new friends I've recently made since moving to this area. They knew about my birthday from our church bulletin and made me a cake and each had cards for me and one new friend even had a present for me. It was wonderful fellowshipping and praying for each other during this time!
Watching my children watch me in anticipation of my blowing out a bunch of candles. The event itself isn't that exciting as an adult, but seeing all their excited faces for me was so sweet!
Seeing my 4yo son cry because he hadn't gotten me a present! That was the best present he could of given me - caring for me that much!
Seeing a beautiful double rainbow in the sky during cake time! What a neat reminder that God keeps his promises in our lives. I can count on him in the coming year!
Here are some pictures of the beautiful rainbow out our window!
I love the pics of the double rainbow! So beautiful!
One of my favorite things about my birthday was picking the menu for dinner (within reason). As an adult my mom still does this! This year we are going to be with my parents for my birthday so I am looking forward to that treat! :) I am finding cooking much more enjoyable now and my girls keep changing their minds on what they want for their birthday dinner! That is music to my ears!
