I woke up this morning to the sound of a text just received. I rolled over, grabbed the phone, and watched the most hilarious, ridiculous, obnoxious happy birthday video that my son sent me, complete with my name being sung. I laughed out loud alone in my room. That was a great start to my birthday. My sisters and family had planned several events for the weekend, but due to the rise in covid, unfortunately those things didn’t happen. However, all the cards and messages I received made me smile and feel very blessed. And since my son recovered from covid and received a negative test the other day, he came over to share dinner. He even played the piano and sang for us. It was almost like normal. While it was a different birthday – as it has been for millions of other people – I’m so grateful for the relationships in my life.

I Found God today gratefully for the relationships in my life.
