Birthday '11

It's that time of the year when the number that represents my age advances forward yet again. Invariably, it's a time of reflection on years past, the current year, and the years to come.

I am grateful for the growth and maturity over the years; and thus must also rejoice in my challenges, for it is through them that I have grown the most.   I thank God for all He has blessed me with - my relationship with HIM, my Church, my friends and family, my home, my job, my health....  It amazes me, how many years I have behind me; and I have no idea how many I still have ahead.    I just pray that I will live them faithfully to the end.

I'm also thankful that there are friends and family who want to celebrate my Birthday with me.  That is a blessing I should not take for granted.
