Frederick Buechner once wrote, “The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you." I started this blog to share random thoughts about my quest to become a better father, husband, and Christian, and to discuss what I learn in my everyday life and where my place at the party might be. I look forward to comments and stories from you about your own journeys.

35...36...37...
Another birthday has come and gone. It was a nice, quiet day at home with A and the two little ones; MB was so excited about the shirt she had picked out for me, and even more proud when I put it on and wore it all day. It's amazing how what we want for our birthdays changes as we get older; when I was little, it was all about the gifts and possible parties. Now that I've reached the age where Jack Benny stopped aging (or at least entered the phase where his birthdays began to repeat), it's all about being with my wife and daughters. You can't ask for much more than that.....
Happy , Happy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteBelated happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteHow very true that we change priorities as we age. Being with the ones you love on your special day is a lovely thought indeed. :)
(In my best Thumper from Bambi voice) "Happy Birthday!"
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, late....
ReplyDeleteWho's Jack Benny? ;-)
