Birthdays

A confession to make. This weekend my youngest grandchild turns 9 and my youngest child turns 40! They're all growing older and I wish they wouldn't! My solace is they are both such wonderful people. Recently my granddaughter told me she wished she could win the lottery (although none of us ever buy tickets) so she could "give some food to poor children in Africa'! And my youngest child has, after a very unsettled life, met a wonderful man who she loves very much and who loves her. She is so happy I am consoled that she is turning 40! I admit that THEY are not worried about their increasing ages, only I am in my heart of hearts. Where is my faith and peace in God? I still have it I just forget sometimes!
