Oh my gracious! My little Bubba, okay not so little, turned 9 today! I have to admit that I am feeling a bit old…not too old, mind you, but definately older!
Happy Birthday to my wonderful, strong, smart and lively young man….stay little for as long as you can, please? I love you and I pray that God will continue to bless you and be an important part of who you are.
Here are a few snap shots of the small birthday celebration we had to ring in one more year.
Nine candles…does he have enough breath?
It appears that he does! 🙂
Tradition in my house, birthday person gets the first bite, no matter who you are!
It is hard to believe that I have been blessed with such a wonderful boy such as Bubba. God sure knew that I needed a strong, yet sensitive young man in my life. A young man that will continue to grow in the Lord and become a better man because of it.
I blinked and the years flew by. I try not to dwell on the “what ifs” or “what should haves”, because for me there are never enough memories that could have been created along the way.
I strive to remember that each day is a blessing, regardless if it was a birth day or not. So many times we get caught up in “how we should be” instead of relishing “how sweet it has been”…
A brief reminder that you must make the most of the days we are given, because we are not even guaranteed tomorrow.
Talk soon…
