A Gift from Above

I came back from my conference and took a couple days off work - mainly to celebrate my birthday, which have decided to count in levels instead of years. I mean doesn't it sound cooler to say I've reached Level 52 than to say I'm 52 years old? It sounds more like a planned accomplishment.  ;)

Thursday, I volunteered at my daughters school, ate lunch with my son, did almost nothing during the afternoon, and had dinner ready for my daughter. I think I even did a little calculus with my son. On Friday (my birthday), I had a massage, ate lunch with my BFF and son, had cake with my mom, dad and daughter, and just enjoyed spending time with everyone. 

Life began returning to normal on Saturday with way too many loads of laundry. However Sunday was a true gift! It was sunny and warm (70s). I got to go to church, out to eat and for a wonderful walk outside with my mom. The weather was absolutely perfect! I could have received no gift for which I was more thankful than a warm, sunny day. And no gift better than knowing God is guiding me toward my path in life.

Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.
