Today I celebrated my birthday. Since it was Sunday, my family was able to spend the day with me in rest, relaxation, food and fun! I am truly a blessed man, who married a wonderful woman who gave me two awesome sons. In addition, I have an absolute angel of a daughter-in-law who will give me my first grandchild in about 2-1/2 months!
I know that social media gets its’ fair share of criticism, and sometimes rightly so. However, a number of times today as I was reading all of the Happy Birthday well wishes I received on Facebook, I felt the gratitude that George Bailey must have felt at the end of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” I thank God for my life and sending Jesus Christ to save me from my sins. I thank God for my wife and awesome children, who have the Lord in their lives. I thank God for my granddaughter, who I will meet in just a few months. I thank God for my church and pastoral team. I thank God for my awesome job and the wonderful people of the DIG family of companies. I thank God for great friends!
Yes, it is a wonderful life!
