Today is my birthday. We don't make huge deals out of birthdays, but I had a nice day all the same. :) Zaza and I took the children to the science center for the day and watched an IMAX movie on Madagascar. We came home and she cut everybody's hair while I made chicken/veggie kabobs, corn on the cob, potato salad, fruit salad and rolls. Marc brought home a birthday cake after work and we celebrated together.
I was thinking today if I had any "birthday wishes" or thoughts and all that kept coming to mind was "I wish to be completely in God's will." I hope to grow in virtue and holiness- if not now- when? I'm not getting any younger. I'm reading "St. Patrick's Summer" to the children at night and it is just AWESOME. It was written in the 50s- that's how you know it is awesome. We used to use real words and convey real ideas and expect children to rise to the level we were setting. Now so much literature stoops to the level of the child.
Anyway, reading this catechism novel with the children has reimprinted on my heart how I am made in the image of God and must use that grace accordingly and treat others with that dignity from conception to natural death. So here's to another year and to seeking the Lord while He may be found.
