Birthday Girl!
Posted by AndreaTeach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. (Psalm 90:12)
June was always a month of celebration during my childhood. My birthday is June 4, my brother’s birthday is June 8, and my mother’s birthday is June 18. Of course we also celebrated Father’s Day on the third Sunday in June, so throughout the month everyone in our household had a reason to party.
Since today is my birthday, I thought about my childhood birthday celebrations and recalled how happy those times were. My memories included birthday trips to The Ringling Brothers-Barnum and Bailey Circus which always came to our area in June and was a joint birthday celebration between my brother and me. My parents allowed us to invite a friend to join us at the circus and the evening culminated with pizza at our favorite pizza parlor.
Another birthday I fondly remember is my Sweet Sixteen. My parents threw a huge barbecue and all my friends and family came to celebrate. The highlight of this birthday was when we filled our long stemmed champagne glasses with punch and my mom offered a toast to me! I still recall feeling so “grown up” that day!
Now that I’m a wife and mother, my birthdays are celebrated a bit differently but are just as sweet. Today Sweet Pea offered me a plethora of kisses and hugs and Sugar Plum offered a block as a birthday present. As always, JT made me feel like the most important woman in the world.
No matter how many years go by, I still find that birthdays are best when spent with those you love!
Happy Happy Birthday !!!!!
