A walker on my birthday

It seemed ideal, Missions Fest Lancaster and the Wings of Freedom tour were both scheduled for August 23-24 coinciding with my birthday. A weekend an airplane dreamer would love.

That all changed Friday morning when Dad inexplicably fell while at his daily day services program. With Dad's self-confidence to stand, let alone walk shattered and his right hip bruised, the weekend plans were altered. Fortunately, Dad's injuries aren't any more serious. Full of irony, on my birthday, Beth bought a walker!

I could never have predicted that this would've been the way I'd celebrate this birthday, but I enjoyed today in spite of it being God's plan for the day and not mine.
