My Birthday - March 8th, 2009

CELEBRATING ANOTHER YEAR OF BLESSINGS


Every day we are given the opportunity to remake ourselves and to remake this world. No matter what our age we have the potential to grow and learn and change. No matter what our age, we have the potential to give and teach and enlighten.
Never stop making birthday wishes


MY BIRTHDAY PRAYER

I don’t want to grow old God. I don’t want any part of it. But since I have no power to stop the clock, my prayer is this: Let me age with grace.

Show me the way, God. Be with me. Grant health to my body and clarity to my mind. Give me strength. Help me to overcome my vanity. Teach me to combat self-pity. Don’t allow me to become set in my ways. Shield me from isolation and from loneliness.

May the love of my family and friends be my reward for all the struggles of my youth.Let all the blessings of age emanate from me. Let wisdom flow from my mouth, let compassion flow from my heart, let acts of kindness flow from my arms, let faith flow from my soul, let joy shine forth from my eyes.
Amen

My dearest Pam
May I extend belated Happy Blessings day to you on your recent birthday. I apologise for missing it.
You are like me and fine wine...we only get better as we age..
This WiFi here is rather inconsistent so I have not been signing on quite as much as I just get frustrated.
My hubby said he saw some campgrounds that actually have WiFi at every site.
It is probably coming to that.

Take care and may the Lord shine His face upon you and yours.

Love Alberta LORI coming to you from TUCSON
