Julia's 26th Birthday

Everyday that the Lord gives us is a gift, but for me, a birthday is an extra special day for it is a reminder of another year that the Lord has given me here on earth.  For that I am thankful.  And at 26 years old, I'm finding more and more that my joy is joined hip to hip with my thankfulness. And I have so much to be thankful for that it brings me to my knees in gratefulness at times. And it's humbling...  To know that I don't deserve anything that He gives me.  What beautiful grace.  In fact, I deserve a burning lake of fire.  What beautiful mercy!

Thank you God for another year!
