OK, so yesterday I turned 40. Everybody says that 40 is the "big one." I suppose it is perceived as the time when you are officially turning old. Well, I have to say, that's not how it felt to me.
40 was one of the best birthdays that I have had to date. I was constantly reminded throughout the day that other people care about me. I was also reminded of the massive grace that God has given me through His abundant love and sacrifice for me.
I can honestly say, that I do not feel any older at 40 than at 39, or for that matter since my early 30s. I feel like I have matured both Spiritually and emotionally, but not the gloom-and-doom of feeling old. I feel wiser than 30, but not "old." Maybe it's the teenagers in the Youth Group at Church that keep me feeling young, or maybe they are the reason that I have matured. Either way, I think I am going to enjoy 40 just the same...
