>Read and Meditate on Psalm 139
Dear God,
Today marks fifty-five years since I took my very first breath. Fifty-five years ago, I met my mom and dad for the very first time. You have blessed every year of my life and filled them with love, laughter, tears and lessons. So far, you have written a beautiful story with a happy childhood, loving parents, close siblings, a loyal and loving husband, four beautiful children, two extraordinary son-in-laws, two remarkable, soon to be son and daughter-in-laws and a perfect and healthy grandson. When I look at my story so far I feel so grateful and so very blessed. Help me to not forget the struggles I faced that I tend to push back, ignore or forget all together for they have shaped, molded and helped me to grow into the woman I am today. Help me to see You in every minute of my story guiding, sending angels and roadblocks to keep me on my path to You. Thank You, Lord, for my past 54 years and bless this new year I start today. Thank You for all that is to come both good and bad for all of it is part of the beautiful story of me written by You.
I love You, Papa.
