Celebrating Another Year!

Ok, I’m a little weird. Most people hate getting another year older. But in my family, every year past 55 is a great milestone. Why such a strange benchmark? Our mother died of cancer when she was 55 years old.

So when I turned 57 this month, I was so pleased with this gift from God – another year to do His work. I try not to take this blessing lightly. God puts us all here for a purpose. He has given me the spiritual gift of teaching, and I know He expects me to use it for His glory. What a great privilege and a reason for special celebration!
