Today is my birthday.   Eighty-six years young.  It is a wonderful thing to have a long life.  You get to welcome your great-grandchildren into the world.  Halley and Hailey spent Saturday with me.  They are eleven and eight years old.  It was fun !! They are wonderful girls.  I have ten grandchildren and ten or eleven great-grandchildren.  ( I need to count them again.)

The only bad thing is that all of your friends are leaving you behind as they go to meet our God.  I guess that explains the old saying that you are “The last leaf on the tree.”  That’s what I am.  But it gives you time to see a lot of prayers answered.  I always tell God to answer me “Now.”  But sometimes He has other times in mind.  And what a blessing it is to live long enough to see your prayers answered for your loved ones.

My plan is to do nothing else all day.
