Translating a World on the Edge

Yesterday was my birthday. It was a lovely day and I thank God for it.

I thank him, too, for a loving husband I can count on, for my five amazing children and their terrific spouses, and my ten precious, fun-loving grandchildren.

I want to thank him for having had wonderful parents and grandparents. I want to thank him for my wonderful sister, my loyal cousins, my fantastic friends, and all the readers and supporters of my books and this blog.

I’m grateful for the happy times I’ve experienced, and for the lessons learned through the sad times. God is truly awesome. I don’t know how anyone goes through life without knowing Him. He is my greatest, continuing birthday gift.

Oh Lord, How Great Thou Art for giving me this life.

And for never leaving me alone while I live it.
