I wanted to touch the hem of His garment. This is what this felt like today. On my birthday. He takes my breath away. He saw the tears I blinked away. And He passed this way.

I delight myself in Him and in His love for me. I look for His handiwork. It is in the mountains and in the oceans. It is in the birth of a child. It is in the love notes He leaves for me every where I go. I fall in love with Him a little more every day. He takes my breath away.

My heart is so happy....and full. My heart is full. Today we celebrated.
