The Big 4-0

Well, I have officially moved into that stage of life that has traditionally been called middle-aged. However, all I hear now is that 40 is the new 30. And, since I don't know how long I am going to live, I don't know if I am at the half-way mark or not! Maybe not, since I have a lot of grandparents who lived/are living a long time. Anyway, what I do know is that I am thankful for another year of life. There is nowhere I would rather be than right here, with the people, places, and things that entails. Most of all I am thankful for the forgiveness of sins, so I can look forward to being with Christ forever, and not just back on all of my sins. One thing I do know: every day is one day closer to seeing Jesus face-to-face. Now that is something to look forward to!
