What a beautiful time of life we are in. I feel so settled. I am so happily married, have a beautiful little apartment, two sweet pets, wonderful in-laws and a good job. Life can be hard sometimes, but I feel (at least today) that these troubles are only making us stronger in each other and in Christ. So praise the Lord! It seems as though this year my birthday presents mean a lot to me, mostly because we have had to cut most unnessesary items out of our spending. I can't just go out and buy a pretty dress if I feel like it, so I am very, very thankful! (I am not saying this so more people will buy me presents, I am just happy for the ones I have!) I guess what I am trying to say is that all in all, life is awesome and I have no-one but the Lord to thank for all these blessings.
"Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits- who forgives all you sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you wilth love and compassion, sho satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's." Psalm 103:1-5
