Birthday Birthday Birthday

Happy Birthday to me!
I woke up and I’m 53!

I placed my feet on the floor, stood up, looked around

Raised my hands in the air and without making a sound (since hubby is asleep)

Shouted HALLELUJAH LORD, YOU GAVE ME YET ANOTHER BIRTHDAY!

I’m blessed, I’ve found favor, I see neither blue nor gray

But what I see is the miraculously bold beautiful red

Of the life giving blood that Jesus shed

His sacrifice for me, for my life, for this day was so marvelous

50 I embraced and it was fabulous

51 I peaked at with a measure of anxiety

52 I cried out, "Lord why couldn’t Mommy have seen 52?"

53 I welcome you already with a list long with what I must do

I’m grabbing 53 by faith certainly not by sight

And whatever God has for me I’ll do with all my might.

This isn’t the typical “Big Birthday” as defined

But it’s my "Big Birthday" as by life’s design.

I woke up and I’m 53!
Happy Birthday to me!

  4. Sherie, thank you very much for your comment. Indeed as we grow, we become wiser and we rethink and reorganize our priorities. Through the building up of our faith we strengthen our relationship with God and bask in his blessings.
