I can always remember my husband’s birthday, as it is just ten days after our wedding anniversary.  We have two big family months — June and October.  June is our wedding anniversary, Burk’s birthday, and Father’s Day.  October is my birthday and my daughter’s (who was born on the same date as my daddy) plus there is Halloween.  My husband doesn’t like a lot of fuss but I know he enjoys being celebrated by his family.  His grandmother even got a gluten free cake so our little one could dig in.  I love that my husband is easy to please.  He is truly one of the kindest men I know and tries not to be difficult.  If I could have a birthday wish for him it would be to stop worrying so much about everything.  In the Holy Bible it says:

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.  Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?  Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not much more valuable than they?  Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?  And why do you worry about clothes?  See how the flowers of the field grow.  They do not labor or spin.  Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.  If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?  So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’  For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.  But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”  (New International Version, Matthew 6: 25-33)

Happy birthday to my wonderful husband; let your heart be light.
