Mom turns 80

Today is my mother's 80th birthday. I am so very thankful for her. Bobby and I went up to Michigan last week to celebrate her birthday with my siblings. It was a wonderful time. (Of course, i don't have any pictures. I need to get some from my mom. Her camera works. Mine needs to get fixed quickly. Anyway, back to mom.) It is truly a blessing to have her for these many years. The Psalms say that "our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strenghth they are eighty years,.." We as a family have been blessed to have our parents reach 80+ years. They have given us a legacy that is God-fearing, and I am so thankful for them and what they have taught us over the years. Not only have they been married for almost 59 years, but all of their married children have been married for 28 or more years. They have taught us the ways of the Bible, and we all know how we should walk. Not one of us can say that we were not taught the truth. I am so thankful they have stood by me through all the errors of my ways. I am also thankful that the Lord has drawn me to Himself. Happy Birthday, Mom!!
