Every once in a while I get the privilege of sharing my birthday on the same day we honor any and all service men and women. Those who have gone before us. My Dad and father in law are retired Marines. One brother in law is about to be retired from the Air Force, another brother in law is a retired Navy man and another was in the Army for a short while. Now my Nephew Adam is in the Army stationed in Iraq. Our armed forces are near and dear to me. Often taken for granted and forgotten about. Pray today for them and their families. It is not an easy life to live. They are underpaid, often unappreciated and sometimes just an after thought when in all actuallity they are the heros who have paved the path of the freedom that our country is so blessed to have.
Today will be a little quiet. David and Chandler are at a soccer tournament out of town. Carson and Cameron are plotting to make me a suprise birthday cake. I believe I overheard the main ingredient to be MUD. It will be the thought that counts plus there will be no calories to rid myself of. I do believe on Weight Watchers mud is O points. :)
Thank you Lord for creating me in my mother's womb and allowing her to give birth to me MANY years ago on this day. I pray that the rest of my years here on Earth will be glorifying to you and you alone.
Blessings,
Linda

Happy Birthday, Linda. Just heard from your Mom. Hope you have a fabulous, even though a quiet, day.
Would love to see the birthday cake

Happy Birthday!! I thank God everyday for you and your sisters. I remember holding you in my arms for the first time and counting your fingers and toes. You were so precious then and you are so precious now. The Lord has blessed me with children who love the Lord. The Lord uses you to encourage me and sometimes step on my toes as you share something that has convicted you. I am blessed by your blog as I know so many others are. I hope you, Carson and Cameron have a quiet day. The cake sounds yummy!!
Love,
Mom
