"And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove!
for then would I fly away, and be at rest."
Psalm 55:6
Today is a specially blessed day! It is my birthday!
I don't feel a day older than yesterday! My daughter's asked me yesterday how I felt. I told them it wasn't the age that bothered me, it was that I am not as strong and not able to do all the things that I have enjoyed doing all these years.
"And even to your old age I am he; and even to gray hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you."
Isaiah 46:4
I claim these verses to be true today, as we that are God's children can trust Him to be with us and carry us each day as we grow older. Each day is a blessing and with a thankful heart, I praise God for all the times He has carried me.
My blessings are too many to name. When I started to blog I prayed about what to name it, "A Grandma's Blessings" came to my mind. As a wife, mother and a grandmother I have received so many blessings. To share each and every one would take another lifetime. As the days go by there are so many changes and challenges we face.
Face them with courage and faith.
There are some times and days that are good and some uncertain. As time goes on I will not be posting as often, I have enjoyed meeting and getting to know so many wonderful ladies and reading your blogs. I'm not saying goodbye, I just need some time to focus on things that are near and dear to my heart.
May God Bless you and your Day
as He is Blessing mine!

Totally know what you mean!

I need to claim this verse: ""And even to your old age I am he; and even to gray hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you."
Isaiah 46:4
Thanks for posting and we will look forward to any post you share. I am unable to do so many things that I used to do, so I need His help daily.
Beautifully said! Happy birthday!

Happy belated birthday Sylvia! hope you had a great day. As I was looking at photos from just a few years back I see how I have changed too........those changes to older are not my most favorite....I hate not being able to do as much as I used to do....but, hey, I'm alive and happy and doing great. We are blessed in more ways than we know.
Happy Birthday and God Bless!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Oh Sylvia ~ This was so beautifully said. You are a dear and sweet lady that is why you can see the beauty and blessings in life.

Sylvia, I really enjoy your blog. You have blessed me with some wonderful messages. Hope you don't stay away too long. I hope your birthday way happy and blessed. ((hugs))
Oh, I will miss your warm and friendly happy blogs. I hope you won't stay too far away. But I do understand that sometimes we need to pause in the midst of life and just live! Happy Birthday dear friend. You are a real blessing to me. Thank you!!
Birthdays i dont seem to count them anymore... I dont mind aging either but it ps the aches and pains that seem to be coming with it all. I put my trust in God everyday.. Lovely post. Hope your day is special with love Janice
HAPPY BIRTHDAY....I always enjoy your blog too. It was nice to hear how your came up with your name. Hugs.
Happy Birthday! I am new to the Home Living site that lead me to your blog. I love what you posted, and can relate, because I, too, am older. It is like a breath of fresh air for me to see a blog from an older lady. I sometimes feel like I fail because of not being able to keep up with young ladies. I am learning to be happy with living in my own pace. You helped confirm that it is good to do.
Happy belated Birthday wishes to you, Sylvia! Your message that you shared is so heartfelt and yes, we need to truly count our blessings and be thankful in all things.
