I never very much cared for birthdays. It was just another reminder that you were getting older. And it doesn’t help that the kids that I taught in middle school are now 21 years old and doing adult things. So, I this year I really feel old.

But then I look at all the wonderful things that God has blessed me with over the years and can’t wait for what the new year may bring. So, this year, instead of being sad, I am happy to be one year older because who knows what wonders and blessings may come this year.
