Birthdays are for Celebrating!

Birthdays I do not hate

Today's a day to celebrate!

Although I  need to calculate

Am I 67 or 68?

Can you relate?

I'll leave that for your debate.

I definitely qualify for the Senior's plate,

Although I'm far from eager to lie in a crate.

God will have to wait

To welcome me at the Heavenly gate.

Today I deliberate

All the goodness of my God

For which I do not rate.

He's given me a loving mate

Three children who turned out great

Eleven grands my heart is sate

Another on the way. I cannot wait!

Thankful my heart Jesus did penetrate

He arrived on time — He's never late.

Jesus has a plan for your life. It isn't fate.

He loves you, for He knows no hate.

He will lift those burdens from your plate.

If you ask Him today, you won't have to wait.

Thank you for helping me celebrate

My birthday number 68

If the Lord allows, it will be just fine

To celebrate birthday number 69.

May God splash serenity on your birthdays! Thank you for your love and prayers for me as we journey together through the splashes! I love you back!
