Today is my 34th birthday and I have spent the whole day in my jimjams. We took a day off school and had hot dogs for tea. My son ran me ragged as he does every day, and I'm a little bleary from being awake in the night with a mysterious chest pain.
I was given an advent candle, and a DVD of the Victorian Farm, wherein historians go back in time (Not literally, that's the province of the Doctor alone) and relive life as it was over 100 years ago.
But by far the nicest gift I received was a handmade book lovingly crafted by my two eldest daughters, containing selected scriptures. Whatever else I've achieved in my 34 years, raising children who do that will remain right up there.

I am going to hold on to my 33-ness for another six months... youth is fading!!
Your comments re the children are right on. We will never do anything greater, finer, nobler, than raising children to honour the Lord.
Happy Birthday, may God bless you and keep you!
Happy birthday!
I've already reached the age where I forget my own ... not intentionally either ... and still got a couple of years to catch up on you! :-)
Happy birthday, child!
...spent the whole day in my jimjams....
Er, is that a good thing?
If so, great!
If not, I'm so sorry to hear it.
It was kind of a good thing as I had nowhere to go. Different tonight, Ant is taking me out for a meal.
You are the idiomaticest Brit I've ever known.
...but then, as we all know (because you once said so), I'm just "pants."
/c:
Did I really call you pants, Dan? Sorry about that, I don't recall and wouldn't say it again.
A belated birthday to you. Lovely to find your blog. We'll have to meet up sometime.
Nice to 'see' you Claire - do pop round any time.
You did, but it was in Christian love, so it was okay.

This Sunday is the 1st Sunday of Advent. Now you can light your candle.
Happy belated B-Day! I wish I was 34 again. Then again, I'm 57, and so much closer to being with our Savior and Friend, Jesus Christ the Prince of peace, and King of kings, so I wish I was 34 years older in a way.
Though I count life as precious, because Christ died for me, and I have others who love me, in spite of me, I still long to be away from this world, and with my Lord and my God.
Have a very happy Christmas Kay, and Christmas season!

Right. What more could you ask?
