The big 60 is approaching- reflections

Honestly, I don't know where the time has gone. It seems like yesterday when I was sitting with my best friend, Dorothy,in a field of daisies and picking off "he loves me, he loves me not" about the cute older guy in the 8th grade who lived on the next block. This week, I have my 60th birthday coming up.

What a wonderful life! With every wave of sadness or disappointment came the next wave of happiness and excitement. Would I do it over again knowing the past? Would I try to avoid the hurts and pitfalls?

I'm glad I don't have to answer those questions. I believe that God has the plan and the blueprints..... and I have only to listen for his guidance. I have a framed cross stitch that says "Pray without Ceasing." That reminds me to keep thanking God, praising him, praying for guidance....and listening.

So far, it has brought me the most wonderful daughter, son-in-love (as Granny calls it), grandchildren, and husband. Sigh.
