Today is Tom’s 60th Birthday, and I have some special things planned. Two weeks ago I surprised him by having a small gathering of friends and family–some from out of town that he had no idea were in town. I love surprising him because he never expects it. Which is another thing I love about him. His humility is always front and center.
I can’t tell you what I did for him…yet. Because as you read this we’ll be in the middle of doing it.
But.I.will.tell.you.
For now, I would love it if you would take a minute and wish him a Happy Birthday in our comment section. As you know, 60 is a huge milestone, and I’m grateful for the years and memories God has given us. And I’m grateful for all of you who make our heart for marriage a tangible ministry.
60 years. Where will you be when you turn 60. Know that the choices you make today will determine the answer to that question. Something we should always consider.
Happy birthday Tom! My birthday is Friday! I’ll be 42 š Have a blessed day!
