This past weekend was full of family birthdays. Our dear Maddie turned 18 on Saturday- and we’re still trying to figure out where all of those years have gone!
She’s a senior this year – and I know God has great things in store for this young, beautiful Jesus-lover!
And then on Sunday, THIS senior turned 74.
As birthdays go, it was a pretty quiet day since we were driving to Louisiana to help out at a favorite ministry for a couple of weeks. But through the modern miracle of cell phones and Facebook, I had so many lovely birthday greetings that even without a piece of cake, it was still a pretty fine day!
And then providentially this morning a friend shared this video.
Whether you’re wrapping up your second decade like Maddie, or almost halfway through your eighth, these lyrics still ring true –
Joy still comes in the morning
Hope still walks with the hurting
If you’re still alive and breathing
Praise the Lord
Don’t stop dancing and dreaming
There’s still good news worth repeating
So lift your head and keep singing
Praise the Lord
Amen!
Thanks for stopping by,
