Another Year by His Grace

I marked my birthday earlier this week and it was another opportunity to thank God for his grace and mercy and compassion.
It was another opportunity to thank him for my wife and children and how he has granted to us all the knowledge of his grace and person.
When I speak to people who are marking their birthdays, one of the questions I ask them is if they feel older on the day and they usually reply that they don’t feel any different than in the previous days or even months. I agree with them, I do not feel older if the feelings were the indicator of age but I KNOW that I am older and I see it all around me especially when I consider the things have happened in the last 20+ years, I do not need the feeling to acknowledge God’s love.

I have learned a lot in the last year, I am loving my books again and trying to establish a system to clear the backlog of books but it has been wonderful.
I have not published an app to the app store yet or written the book that I know I want to write but I won’t spend time thinking of the things I have not done because I have done so much more maximizing each passing moment in relationships and opportunities.

I bless the name of the Lord for his loving kindness for if he has been my rock and sustenance it would have been impossible to speak of any success.

I look forward to the steadfast love of God in the new year as I know he is in charge of all things and nothing happens without his say so.
