Today is my birthday, but that is not why I am writing this blog.  I am writing this to give thanks to Jesus Christ for giving his life to give us of our sins and allowing me the opportunity to be here for this long and to be able to continue to smile and find love in my heart to reach out to others.  I give praise to God and I am so not ashame to do this!

One of the first birthday wishes I received came on FaceBook this morning and I said to myself.... this is another good reason for the social networks -- there are people there that care!

There are so many things going on in the world now-a-days that is it sometimes a challenge to find the good, but what I try to remember when its hard to find the good is remember that I got up this morning, that I have my health and strength and that --- I have a beautiful family and yes! I can crack a smile.  And this all makes me remember "God is Good".  And I saw Thank you Jesus!

For those that are facing foreclosure, worried about losing your home, and other problems -- talk to God and believe that when doors close God will open an window.  Let the closed door go and look for the window that is opening for you.

God bless and Happy Birthday to me! (Smile)
