Today was not the birthday I had planned. Pain from the herniated disc in my back has
been intense and I was forced to stop and rest. And I recognized that I am more aware of blessings when I’m stopped than when I’m hurrying
through my own agenda. Although my day started with physical pain it also started
with the sweetest birthday hug from my daughter, a yummy breakfast brought to
me by my husband, and has been rounded out with flowers, a cake, balloons,
gifts, and dinner not prepared by me. Oh, and I’m here to celebrate another
year of life!! Today is the day God had planned for me and His plans are always
better than mine. Life can be painful and messy and sometimes we have to search
hard to see the blessings. Today I am grateful that the blessings far
outweighed the pain.
