Birthdays

My husband just celebrated his birthday yesterday. It was a typical thirty-something birthday. After the Big 30 you tend to just want to find ways to hang out with people you like. The what doesn't matter so much as the who.
Reflecting on the day got me to thinking about the meaning of birthdays. My husband's birthday is a very special one to me because it was the day my husband was born. Wow. Deep. Seriously, when I really think about it that day changed my life. I believe the Lord knew on that day that I would spend my life with that person. Fantastic plan.
A birthday is what this nullipara is looking forward to; the birthday of my first born. That day has already been chosen. The Lord knows that on that day his special child will come to spend time with us. So I will be patient for that day, knowing it's going to be worth it all. A happy birthday indeed!
