Today is my mother’s 50th birthday and I wanted to honor her. My mother dealt with all the over the hill jokes last night at her party and it sounds as if she handled it rather well. I was thinking about what it means to grow older and how I want to age and how beautifully my mother always has been and continues to be. Each season is God-given and none should be less enjoyable than any other. Maybe this is easier said than done. I am only 30 but I’ve learned that if I write about something and look back on it later my own advice can slap me in the face at a time when I really need it. So I am taking this opportunity to show my appreciation for my mom, Connie Bogle, and to think about what it should mean to somebody to turn 50. Hopefully, I will look back on this when I turn 50 and see that I’m aging as gracefully as my mother has.
Age with Grace
You have lived for 50 years today
So I choose to honor you in this special way
I ask for God’s blessings on this new chapter of your life
As you continue your journey as Grandma, mom, and wife
Remember there is a time for every season
And for all you encounter God has a reason
I pray that you age with grace
Being most concerned by the beauty of your heart
Magnifying the beauty of your face
Embrace these years to come
Reflect on the glory of your past
And share all your wisdom
Relish every second of grand parenting
And let the Holy Spirit guide you when called upon for mentoring
You are an energetic grandma and a charismatic mom
Take a deep breath and try to remain calm
Your fun is not over
It’s just the beginning
So stop moping around and start grinning
You have become wise in your years
Laboring hard, keeping a clean home, changing diapers, easing tears
I love you Mom and I want you to know
This is also the season for our friendship to grow
Though you are still my mother
You’ve become my dearest friend
And this is a season that will never end
God Bless You Mom and thank you for being who you have been, who you are and who you will always be
Love,
Kimber

Thank you Kimber, you bring me such joy. Cassie and you have always made me so happy and proud, and now you have blessed me grandsons, whom I love so very much. It just shows that the older you get the more blessings God bestows upon you. So hopefully I can keep this in mind and age happily knowing that through my family God will continue to give so much more to be thankful for. Thank you for your love.
Love,
Mom
