“And I will put my
Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to
keep my laws.” Ezekiel 36:27
I like birthdays. On my
next one I’ll turn 58. I’ve thought more and more about then end of my life and
what I have or have not accomplished. But I like birthdays. It is my day. I get my favorite meal or
dessert, my kids call me and friends who have known me forever tease me gently.
When we were all in our 30s the teasing was a bit harsher, but we know now the
tender feelings that accompany the downhill side of our lives.
