RefreshHer9 Comments

Today marks my 65th birthday…yikes. I won’t say all the things you say when you hit a milestone like this. I will say that I thank the Lord for every day He has given me.

When our daughter Whitney and her husband, Paul knew the Lord was leading them to adopt, I wondered about how myself and others could help provide for their needs. We all know what happens at a birth – a shower is given where the parents are, well, showered with all the necessities.
