I can't believe that we are almost to the end of June!! Where is the summer going? Every summer, I assume that I will have all kinds of time to do the things that I really want to do. Somehow that is never the case! :) It seems that I am always so busy with something, and yet I'm not accomplishing the things that I have planned to do. Oh well, I guess that's just the way it goes. In addition, I always feel like I should be extremely happy and upbeat in the summer, but I usually end up feeling a little on the down side. I think it's because I see it going by too quickly. I know I need to just praise God for what He has given me, and be thankful for everything.
I am very excited for an upcoming trip to Frankenmuth, Michigan at the end of July. I am going there with my dad and my sister. We are huge fans of Christmas, so Frankenmuth ( specifically Bronner's) is the perfect place for us!!
Oh yeah......I turn 40 in about 2 1/2 weeks. I am not quite as down about it as I keep thinking I will be. I am in a small state of shock that I will be approaching my "middle years." Time has gone by so quickly! I really hope my family is not planning any sort of crazy "over the hill" party. I believe that I would be a little depressed by that!!
I want to take this opportunity to praise God for all He has blessed me with over the past years. I have a wonderful husband, two terrific sons, a great family that surrounds me, a loving church family, and so many other blessings. I know I don't deserve all that God has done for me, but He has blessed me anyway. I am especially thankful that I have been given salvation by believing that Jesus lived a perfect life, died for the sins of the world ( including mine), was buried and rose three days later. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!!
