Now That I Am 40

I blew it today and let the cat out of the bag that I turned 40 this year. The age is actually no problem. At this point in life, I am getting real sleep, no diapers, no bottles, and our house is on a new chapter. Because of that timing and the events of my life, I have been able to find myself this past year. What a tremendous change that has made in me spiritually. In fact, our lesson today was on evaluating ourselves and where we are on a daily basis with our spiritual tasks vs household chores. This is something we all torment ourselves with and never seem to be quite perfect. Relax and remember that the sacrifices you are making to love yourself and Christ at the same time is all He asks us in the long run.

Happy Birthday. You have a wonderful out look on life. I am thinking 40 sounds good if it has not diapers and you can sleep well. I will look forward to it. :)
