This weekend she came down, brought one of my friends with her, and we had a great time.

I tend to get a little reflect-y around my birthdays - not in a negative way, but maybe not in a positive-enough way either. I think about where I am, where God has taken and brought me, and consider what could be ahead.

This weekend, while approaching a reflect-y day, one of my favorite hyms kept running through my mind, as it is even as I type this.

I hope these words - and truths - bless you like they have blessed me.

Morning by morning

I wake up to find

The power and comfort of God's hand in mine

Season by season

I watch Him, amazed

In awe of the mystery of His perfect ways

All I have need of, His hand will provide

He's always been faithful to me.

I can't remember a trial or a pain

He did not recycle to bring me gain

I can't remember one single regret

In serving God only, and trusting His hand

All I have need of, His hand will provide

He's always been faithful to me.

This is my anthem, this is my song

The theme of the stories I've heard for so long

God has been faithful, He will be again

His loving compassion, it knows no end

All I have need of, His hand will provide

He's always been faithful, He's always been faithful

He's always been faithful to me.
