Birthday Fun

I had such a good time today..... my birthday is actually May 5, but my family and I decided to celebrate early. First, we went to see a wonderful exhibit about the history of Texas, at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I am a history buff, and LOVE to read about the past of my beloved home state! So you can imagine my delight and excitement as I got to see the sash worn by Sam Houston, stared at the spurs and coat worn by Santa Anna, and got a good close look at Davy Crockett's violin! (I am a fiddler, too, by the way, and how I wanted to hold that old instrument, tuck it under my chin, and put the bow to the strings) there were so many other amazing things; such as the "come and take it" cannon, original land grants and letters and documents, Native American artifacts, ancient Spanish coins, and many other relics from Texas' fascinating past..........

Then we went on to Galveston, where we had dinner and shopped on "The Strand". My sweet sister and brother-in-law bought me this gorgeous purse....... I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family! I am so thankful for them, for the unconditional love that I have been given all of my life..... I was adopted at birth, so I truly feel God Himself placed me exactly where He wanted me to be...... and I am so greatful, more than ever before, for my parents that raised me in God's Precious Truth!

I am looking forward to another year of serving Him.... when you walk with Jesus, every day is a joyful day! No matter what you are going through, He never lets you struggle alone..... He is always there to comfort and guide... and I know that this year will be no different! Praise His Name!
