It's my 52nd birthday tomorrow. I'm starting a time in my life that I'm really excited about. I'm sad too, since my nest is emptying, with the youngest of our five children going to college in the Fall. But mostly I'm excited.
My nest is not empty. It's full. It's full of memories. Full of laughter. Full of plans for the future. Full of hope. Full of satisfaction and gratitude for a life filled with blessings, a life marked by decisions covered in prayer. Full of love. Full, at times, with the children now grown, readily accepted within the context of a miniature culture of life. Full of life. Full of God. In some ways it's more full than when it was full.
