I couldn't let my 41st birthday pass without a blog post about it. As I count the 41 years of this life, I also pause to count my blessings.
Nine of my good friends, Charity is missing from the picture, met me at Santo Coyote to celebrate the night before my birthday. These women have truly blessed my life with each of their friendships. I have gotten to know them better with time and I look forward to spending more life moments together with them. We had a great time devouring guacamole and mexican sopas.
Sunday was my actual birthday and my friend, Kellie, sang a song about grace for my requested birthday gift. After church, we met fellow friend and birthday celebrator, Dave, at Casa Mexicana. We shared a joint birthday cake and a time of fellowship.
My parents gave me a 6' wooden bookshelf for my room. I doubt I have enough fall decorations to fill it up.. ha. I did get a new owl from a friend to set on it.
A friend, Bobby, said that because my birthday was on the Lord's day, that I was at least doubly blessed. I am blessed beyond measure by the love of family and friends provided only by God's love and provisions for me. A BIG THANK YOU to all.
I am glad you have all of these friends in your life. Someone told me that if you have five friends you are truely blessed, you must be abundantly blessed. Happy Birthday, Dad
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a great birthday. Proverbs says that in order to have friends, you must be one. Clearly, you have done that and done it well.
ReplyDeleteCathie couldn't have said it better. You indeed encourage friendship by your friendship. I can honestly say, Angie, that my life is exceedingly fuller because of the blessing of your friendship. I thank God for you in every way!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like to me that you should have mega-heartburn!

ReplyDeleteSO SORRY I was out of town and missed your birthday celebration! I know it was wonderful, just by seeing who all is in the picture above, including YOU! Ditto Gloria! You have blessed my life SO abundantly just by knowing you and witnessing your deep faith. You are an example to many! Another thing that is kinda in common with you....I was born on a Sunday! And my life, too, has been greatly blessed....love you, my friend...T. Hope you have many more birthdays to come...and that I can be there to help you celebrate!!
