My daughter runs throughout the room singing at the top of her lungs...her toes tapping the hardwood floors, her t-shirt swaying in the hall, her voice giggling at the words of her tune...
"Lordy! Lordy! Look who's forty!"
Yes...in just a few days it is...it really is...that day we all think about in our 20's....that day we feel is so far off...that day we just know will come with us still wearing high heels, a short skirt and long, flocks of beautiful hair...
That day is just around the bend...the Big 4-0...black balloons, a huge glowing flame on the top of the cake, and my daughter frolicking through the house reminding me of it's soon to be arrival....
AND....
I will embrace it! I will praise my living God that He has given me 40 wonderfully crazy, wonderfully adventurous, wonderfully FULL years! I will praise Him for my faith and my family and my friends. I will praise Him for my health, and my happiness, and my humor at the wrinkles on my forehead!
I will embrace it and I will praise HIM!!
I might even wear heels! (probably not a short skirt...but yes, maybe heels!!)
"For this is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!"
Psalm 118:24
Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful day! - Jodi Widhalm
