blessed.

Today is my birthday and this is what I know for sure. I know that God loves me because he gave me these parents. It is so easy to believe my heavenly Father loves me unconditionally because that is how I have been loved in this life. 39+ years ago, mama gave birth to me and today...
she and Daddy gave me the world. What else was there to give? They've given and taught me all I'll ever need to know by loving God, each other and our family before me. I am blessed, in so many ways, but today I feel extremely blessed because I have them in my daily life and they let me be there...putting up with my bossy, worrywart self. Here is what else I know...I know that we and Daddy are facing a challenge with the necessity of dialysis and so we press on...toward life...enjoying the blessing of every day, knowing God is in control.

It's been a good day...lunch and a "globe building day" with Mama and Daddy and a lazy evening at home with Troy and our furry little girl-child. Thank you family and friends for all the "happy birthdays" and thanks Mama and Daddy for the "world". I love you.
