Birthdays

Yesterday my friends took me out to celebrate my birthday.

Debby, Debbie and Debbe

such thoughtful friends!

And today, another dear friend took me out.

and I got more Starbucks $$!  My friends know what I like!

For years, Mom, Aunt Millie and I celebrated our birthdays together.  

Aunt Millie passed away last October.  How I miss her! 

 And our special day together.

This day we celebrate our nation's "birthday".  

This morning as I was reading from the Bible, I had to reflect on the fact that not only do I have freedom in this nation we call the USA, but as a believer in Christ He has given me spiritual freedom as well.

"Christ has truly set us free!" (Galatians 5:1)
