March 9th!

                                                             

Forty-four!
That's the number
Proof of Your faithful love
Why? Where would I be
If it weren't for
Your Grace and Mercy.
But because of Who You are
Here I am
Rejoicing
Praising
In grateful adoration
For Your goodness, Oh Lord.
The past few days were full
Of so many different emotions
Joy for the Father's gracious redemption
Excitement for weddings and babies
Yay, Nana!
And visas?!?!
Wow!

Then...
Broken for a loved one's loss
Yet..
Blessed, oh so blessed
Lord, I wanna live a life like that
Of ceaseless prayers
Of deep love for Scriptures
Of service and love for people
Faithful to the end.
I look at the mirror
I do look like 44
Sometimes even more
Thinning hair turning gray
Lines, wrinkles and all
Filters and edits, okay
But my heart
Oh my heart!
How it is warmed
To tears sometimes
By the sweet gestures of love
From so many near and far
I can only say
Thank You
My Abba, Father!
