I was blessed with a wonderful day surrounded by my husband, children, and precious in-laws. They showered me with love and kisses and fun presents like a watering can, flip-flops, and a bracelet that grows over time as beads and memories slide onto the silver band.
So what do I think of 40? I think I have plenty of wiry, gray hair beginning to appear on my head. Those creases around my mouth and eyes? I think they're here to stay.
More than anything, though, I have now lived long enough to know that I don't really KNOW much at all.
But I know this...
"O God, from my youth
you have taught me,
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God,
do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come."
Ps. 71: 17, 18
