Both my husband and I enjoy tea. I've been blessed to enjoy a high tea for celebrations in the past, so that fare is what came to mind to celebrate my birthday this year.
I enjoy celebrating with my husband and children, on my actual birthday, even if it is a weekday. So, we enjoyed each others company and the menu at a local bakery for a morning. Pete is so kind to suggest that he'll take me out for a high tea, just the two of us, on a weekend. I have another celebration to look forward too! Here's the kids' meals:
Pete and I shared a florentine crepe and croissant sandwich:
I appreciated Pete's suggestion to that each of them say something kind to me; and also that my younger son added on that we each say something kind to each other. Then it started out with each of us enthusiastically talking about what we love about Jesus.
It was a blessed day for me. I heard from friends and family near and far (san diego, illinois, oklahoma, philippines), in post mail, email, phone and in person, and from each season of my life (junior high, college, et al).
I'm thankful to Jesus for what He is in my life, and for what He had done in my life, and each person and relationship he's blessed me through. I wish there was enough time and resources to spend with everyone; and I'm content right where I am and where He has me going.
