July 4th. All my life, this day has been a day of personal celebration. I was born on this day. My only child was born on this day, 31 years ago. But today on my 61st, when one would think nothing could get better, it did. I heard my son-in-law preach a sermon on the Christ-centered family, and how we must put God first in the family, and how we must all make Jesus our daily devotion including our children from the day they are born. I sat at church, and looked at my son-in-law, who gives my daughter so much love and strength, and their three children, too, and wondered how it is that God chose to bless me so abundantly, me a terrible, and I mean terrible sinner. It does not matter, I praise Him and only ask that I can bring His glory to those around me as a return present.

Happy Birthday my friend! Son in laws are indeed a blessing. My kids were all here today, minus my soon to be #3 SIL, for a day of celebration. What joy they are!
Aren't you glad God's grace and mercy abound for all of rotten sinners!
