Birthday Blessings

Where has time gone since I posted last?
We had an amazing week in Hawaii with the whole family,
which I will still have to post about,
but for now I just want to acknowledge a special birthday.

I think back to the many years that we have celebrated this day
and I can't help but feel the reality of growing older along with him.
One day at a time the years have slipped by, 
filled with hard work,
happy times, sad times. challenges and triumphs, 
growing us to where we can't imagine life any other way -
and wouldn't want it any other way. 

While in Hawaii, we celebrated with a dinner,
adults at one table, kids at another.

And talk about the kids! 
Growing up and so much fun! 

Since we've been back, the two of us hiked Mount Thom one day,
my first hike in a long time. 
Tomorrow his siblings are coming for dinner
and I've been prepping for that. 

To my H, I am so lucky (in a blessed way) to be able to wish
you a Happy 70th Birthday
and look forward to what God still has in store for us. 
Love you always and forever.

💗💗💗

Happiest of birthdays to your H! What a wonderful celebration with your family. It's so crazy to look back over the years and to realize how quickly they've flown, and how God has been so good. I often sing the song, "All my life you have been faithful, All my life you have been so, so good, With every breath that I am able, I will sing of the goodness of God."

I love how you celebrate and this was no exception! A birthday to remember and wonderful family time. Love that Tehya sat at the adult table - smile. God is so good!

Thank you all for your wishes!
Lorrie, that is one of my favorite songs!
Rosella, I love that you noticed Tehya at the adult table. I think sometimes she is torn as to where she belongs now. She is an adult, and actually, there are a few now that like to come around our table and hang out or just listen. =)
