It’s been 30 years since my sweet 16.
Hard to believe?
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Life just keeps going, keeps moving along.
So many changing lyrics in this love song.
You learn how to drive.
You’re driven to learn.
And before long, it’s your kids’ turn.
Looking back over my past,
What just happened?
How’d it go so fast?
So much has happened.
So much is gone.
But that’s not what I’m gonna focus on.
I see the fullness, the laughter, the love.
I can recognize so many gifts from above.
There have been losses, goodbyes and moves along the way.
But so many gains, hellos and friends that have stayed.
Adventures, achievements and a few earned A’s.
Yeah, I’ve even had my moments of applause on a stage.
But what really matters is counting my blessings,
like special people I can count on, for every season, every lesson.
And most of all, Jesus, who means more than the greatest treasure.
So, I’m glad to say, at 46,
I am blessed beyond measure!
