I feel the love

I guess I have never felt such an outpouring of kindness and love as I have today- on my 47'th birthday. I don't usually do a lot about other people's birthday's and I don't really expect a lot for mine.

But today, I feel loved. Calls, cards, emails, notes, gifts, and kindnesses of every kind. Truly, God has put me in good places and allowed me to be around some of the nicest people in the world. I feel very privileged, very happy, and very blessed.

Today, 47 doesn't feel so bad.

Father, please bless these really kind and considerate people. Thanks for letting me be their Pastor, and doing the job I love so much. Help me serve them well, and honor you.
