It Is 25568 Days

Since Easter Sunday 1955 - and my Dad was late for church [and as the minister, he was usually early] But he had good reason - earlier in the morning, the nurse had come into the waiting room [Dads were not allowed in the Delivery Room back in the fifties] and said they were not sure the baby would survive. He sat quietly praying...then was allowed in to see Mum and their new daughter... and here I am now, in 2025, celebrating my 70th birthday today!
No I cannot believe it either. One day maybe I shall write down some of the stories from those seven decades - growing up, student years, meeting the man who has been my soulmate for almost 47 years, my loving family, and my wonderful friends... So much love, life and laughter. So much to be thankful for. 

None of us knows what lies ahead. But I trust in a God who knows my past, present and my future. My fridge magnet has a line from a favourite hymn which sums it up beautifully. I shall leave it at that.
