My Birthday!

Today is my birthday! OK...I'm not saying that so you will give me a gift...but, I woke up this morning and really didn't give it much thought. I am 44 years old! (UGH!) For some reason, the older I get, the more vain I get. I've always wanted to look good, but now it takes alot more effort! (Ladies, you know what I am saying!)
Anyway, I look at my grandmother, who will be 97 next month, I think "how beautiful she is!". She really is! Does she look every bit of 97? Yes...but something radiates from her. Don't get me wrong...she is beautiful on the outside, too! I've seen 50 year old women with more wrinkles! Everyone who is fortunate enough to know her falls in love with her...just ask the staff at Oakmont Nursing Home!
I hope that if I live that long, that is the effect I will have. I worry and fret so about my physical appearance that sometimes I forget that there is an inner beauty that come from knowing Christ that I need to work on, too. Yes, I need to excercise my spirituality just as much as my physical body.
Well, that's about all I have for today...hope you have a great day and God Bless!
