Happy Birthday, Mary.

Birthday Blessings
By Joanna Fuchs

Instead of counting candles,
Or tallying the years,
Contemplate your blessings,
As your birthday nears.

Consider special people
Who love you, and who care,
And others who’ve enriched your life
Just by being there.

Think about the memories
Passing years can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made you who you are.

Another year is a happy gift,
So cut your cake, and say,
"Instead of counting birthdays,
I count blessings every day!"

Thank you! When I think of all the ways the Lord has blessed me over the years, I am just overwelmed by His mercy. I've done some stupid things, taken chances and I'm still here and pretty much unscathed! When I consider the way some of my careless ways have turned out I can't help but say that God is good! Apparently He had a plan and I was just along for the ride most of the time. It's been quite an adventure!

Happy birthday, Mary - sorry I missed it and am a day late. BTW, your birthday is the same day as my dad's.

Mary, some of us are adventuresome types. You just happen to be one and I am not. Very Happy I wish I were a bit more so when I read all of your fascinating posts. You have such a great life and I know that you are thankful daily to our dear Lord for it.

Did you click on the picture in your birthday greeting above? I was looking for something "horsey" and was tickled pink when I found that. I thought it was absolutely perfect for you with the horseshoe, the flowers and the country garden. I hope your birthday was a great one.

Yes, I did. Thank you for being so thoughtful in your selection.

Getting the adventure 2nd hand is often much safer than being there. I'd actually prefer not to be present at some of them!

You are right. At my age, second hand is the best way for me to have those adventures. You keep having great adventures and I will keep enjoying them in the safe comfort of my home. Very Happy
