It's my 68th birthday today. My husband, Brad, gave me the absolute BEST gift. A Willow Tree figurine of a grandmother holding her grandbaby, with a stand that reads "Knox and Nana". How excited I am to hold this precious little boy.

Psalms 31:22-24 God's Word Translation

22. When I was panic stricken, I said "I have been cut off from your sight."
But you heard my pleas for mercy when I cried out to you for help.
23. Love the Lord, all you Godly ones!
The Lord protects faithful people,
But He pays back in full those who act arrogantly.
24. Be strong, all who wait with hope for the Lord,
And let your heart be courageous.

Psalms 139:13-18 God's Word Translation
13. You alone created my inner being.
You knitted me together inside my mother.
14. I will give thanks to you
because I have been so amazingly and miraculously made.
Your works are miraculous, and my soul is fully aware of this.
15. My bones were not hidden from you when I was being made in secret,
when I was being skillfully woven in an underground workshop.
16. Your eyes saw me when I was still an unborn child.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book before one of them had taken place.
17. How precious are your thoughts concerning me, O God!
How vast in number they are!
18. If I try to count them, there would be more of them than there are grains of sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.
